Description

(COMPLETE PROJECT may take up to TWO semesters…you may choose to enroll in 1 or both semesters. If you are interested in the National competition, you must take Spring semester, but full on training from research, team collaboration, engineering, programming, robotics, interviewing scientists, etc., consider taking both semesters, Fall and Spring).

Step into the shoes of real NASA engineers and scientists as we tackle a brand-new space mission challenge each year! In this immersive, project-based course, students in grades 3–12 will build and program robots, construct rover platforms with complex obstacles, fly drones, and engage in hands-on experiments that integrate science, math, engineering, art, and technology.

This is not just a class — it’s a launchpad for innovation, collaboration, and confidence. Students will work together like a mission control team, practicing real-world documentation, staying organized under pressure, and discovering what it means to bring a complex mission to life from start to finish.

As a former National NASA Competition Winner (2002), I know firsthand that the greatest reward isn’t the trophy — it’s the transformation. Whether or not your team places nationally, completing the mission makes you a true space explorer and a proud achiever.

Join us for an unforgettable journey — where every student has the power to reach for the stars.
