Students That we Have Helped Shoot for the Stars... One Space Project at a Time
Space Kits
Teachers in Space conducts workshops to instruct teachers how to use Ardusat Space Kits. Mars Initiative is already funding some of those kits! Each teacher will then have the opportunity to take the kit back to the classroom to teach micro-computing and circuit design to their entire class!
SunSpotter
Hayesville High School procured a SunSpotter telescope with the help of a micro grant from Mars Initiative. This tool should bring observing fun to the students of Hayesville for years to come!
ANGLeS Challenge
Neighborhood House at Firwood Circle in Washington State procured materieals to participate the NASA ANGLeS competition. This celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission by giving students the chance to recreate the landing using drones and robots.
