Space Day

Space Day logo

What happens when you mix your students' creativity with real-life challenges? The Space DaySM Design Challenges give your students the opportunity to develop unique solutions to real problems by utilizing science and mathematical concepts, initiating independent research, and connecting directly with experts in the field.

While each year's Space Day curriculum incorporates live events held during that year, the teacher's guides can be used independently in your classroom to challenge your students to think outside the box. Visit our Programs section for more information on this year's Space Day curriculum and activities.
