Events for Youth & Families: BLAST OFF! Astronaut Training

Sat, Nov 12 2022
1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
Central Library, Dweck Center

Events for Youth and Family kids


It is an interactive storytelling program created and performed by Mélissa Smith! Trainees will be up on their feet as they go through a mock astronaut training session -- complete with physical exercises, a drawing challenge, history lessons highlighting achievements by women in space, and an interactive reading of Mae Among the Stars by Roda Ahmed. The young recruits will learn the astronaut creed, "If I can dream it, if I can believe in it, and if I can work hard for it, anything is possible!" The program culminates in an intergalactic dance party!

Events for Youth & Families programs are made possible through generous support from the Estate of Pearl S. Reuillard in memory of her parents Yetta and Louis Schwartz.
