Program Description
SUMMARY:
Space Technology starts with an exploration of space-related technologies used on Earth. Children will guide laser light through a maze, use principles of radar technology to discover hidden objects, and discover the importance of points of reference to depth perception. Children examine the potential threats to spacecraft and see the technological advances that improve our exploration of the universe. Children go home with a set of stereoscopic images transmitted from probes and rovers in space.

EDUCATIONAL VALUE:
This after-school program introduces children to space-related technologies, including those used on Earth to aid space exploration and the very scientific principles of space travel. Engaging demonstrations and exciting hands-on activities will make this investigation of Space Technology a fun learning experience.
