As part of Massachusetts Space Week 2025 under the theme 'Life in the Universe,' The Space Consortium, in collaboration with the Christa McAuliffe Center at Framingham State University, presents an interactive space science outreach experience designed for youth.

This engaging workshop invites children aged 8 to 13 (grades 3-8) to dive into the wonders of astronomy, space exploration, and planetary defense.

Through interactive activities and expert-led discussions, participants will:

• Discover the secrets of our solar system, from the icy comets to the rocky asteroids

• Learn how scientists protect Earth from asteroids and comets through cutting-edge planetary defense strategies and space missions

Led by renowned experts in space science, including:

• Aubrey Davis (Air Force Academy)

• Alissa J. Haddaji (UN SMPAG, The Space Consortium)

• Nahum Melamed (Aerospace Corp.)

This event blends theory with hands-on exploration, ensuring a fun and educational experience for young minds.

This program aims to foster curiosity in science education, making space an accessible and fascinating field for everyone.
