What we do

The Center offers “hands-on, minds-on” learning experiences that are out of this world!
We merge the power of imagination with the excitement of discovery, using many of the same techniques employed by NASA.

Our unique and proven teaching model gives students the chance to become astronauts and engineers and solve real-world problems as they share the thrill of discovery on missions through the Solar System.

Using space simulation and role-playing strategies, students bring their classroom studies to life and cultivate the skills needed for future success.
