CCMNH is proud to offer these NASA-developed activities thanks to a materials grant and partnership with the National Informal STEM Education Network.

Simulate your own exploding star with Nebula Spin Art.

Then, see how nature recycles this interstellar dust as you build gas giant planets or stars.

To explore the moon and the rest of our solar system, including Mars, we’ll need rockets and rovers.

You’ll design, build, and test just like a NASA scientist.

Finally, discover how a meter of paper tape can help you understand scale by making your own Pocket Solar System.

Our instructors:
