Innovation & Exploration, Grades 4-6

Imagine life on Earth and beyond. Join educators from the University of Illinois Extension as they guide you through A Galactic Quest with a stop at Mars Base Camp. Students will find an expanded horizon as they learn about aviation and drones, continuing with a blast-off into space. Hands-on activities developed by local educators and national land grant universities will keep youth engaged and curious about potential space exploration and colonization. This program is intended as a 2-part experience on 2 consecutive days, but those who can only attend one day are welcome. Registration required.
