after school middle school STEM & STEAM Virtual Programming

Attention all Middle Schoolers:

This month, we’re getting ready for summer! And to help you prepare, we’re going to learn about the Sun! What is it and what makes it shine? How big is the Sun? And how do we study the Sun using a very special NASA spacecraft? We will explore these questions and more, plus together we will also make a scale model of our Solar System, and learn how to harness the energy of the Sun by making a Solar Oven!

This monthly space and astronomy series will have you seeing the universe from the comfort of your home. Explore topics including the Earth, the Solar System, the Milky Way Galaxy and beyond, plus NASA Spacecraft and at-home activities that NASA produces.  We’ll also keep you up to date with space news, new research findings with explanations, and you’ll learn how to observe the night sky from Brooklyn, with the help of free phone apps. There will be “take-away” activities to do at home after each session, utilizing existing resources on the web.

 

This program is intended for Middle Schoolers. 

Advanced registration is required, registration will close one hour before the event. A link with log in information will be shared 24 hours and 1 hour before the start of the program. 

This program is part of the Middle School Science series - Click the #MiddleSchoolScience tag for more!
