(Mondays, 3:20 pm – 4:20 pm); Grades 9-12

(Tuesdays, 3:20 pm – 4:20 pm); Grades 6-8

(Wednesdays, 3:20 pm – 4:20 pm); Grades 3-5

(Thursdays, 4:30 pm – 5:30 pm); Grades 3-5, 6-8, & 9-12; [IN CUPERTINO]

(Teams Of 3 Minimum And 6 Students Max, Per Grade Division)

Grades are grouped by categories in the National competition: 3-5; 6-8; and 9-12

(National Research & Engineering Project)!  Students will actually participate in a National NASA research project. This class will prep students to utilize engineering skills, write a well-organized paper in MLA format, create a proper Works Cited page, collect enough accurate data, follow the Scientific Method, experiment with several trials and errors, formulate error analysis, and so much more! We will have a team of up to 6 students to tackle various missions with hands-on experiments, research analysis, and lots of curiosity. Super exciting! We’ll even Zoom with scientists to acquire a lot of interesting details and data. I had a team win Nationals in Spring 2023, I had another team win in 2021, and I had personally won Nationals in 2002! Though it is not about winning, the competitive mode keeps kiddos engaged!

Description

NASA missions are super exciting!

(COMPLETE PROJECT takes TWO semesters…you may choose to enroll in 1 or both semesters. If you are interested in the National competition, you would take both semesters)!!!

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.
