We love hearing from our amazing Space Club teachers! Elda from Texas tells us: "I teach K-6th grade GT at 4 different schools, and the materials and ideas you shared have been invaluable. I have been teaching for 33+ years and have been toying with the idea of retiring. After implementing Space Club's Mission to the Moon, I think I will hang on for a few more years until I get through your resources. I feel like a first-year teacher all over again! My kids are loving all of our class meetings and can't wait to get here and don't want to leave. Thank you sooooooo much!!!!" Have your students enjoyed being a part of Space Club? We want to hear from you! Share your feedback or testimonial by going to https://lnkd.in/gycFFEbB We can't wait to hear from you! #cosmicleapfoundation #stemeducation #teachertestimonial

Mission 2? We would say it's a blast! Check out some student projects from Mission to Mars, Mission 2: Get to Mars, a straw rockets experiment! This problem-solving activity helps students gain some experience in data collection, iterative testing, and communication of their ideas. Have your students done this mission? We want to see! Share your photos and videos! Send us a message or DM us for the link to share!
