GRC's Space & Adv. Space Academy

We all know the main planets with their fun mnemonic - My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nachos - but what about. . . everything else? Space is so much more than just planets. What else makes up our universe? Let's examine space dust and gases, black holes, exoplanets, comets, and all the types of stars. We'll explore tools like the James T. Webb telescope and the amazing images it's providing, and we'll even craft our own telescopes! And of course, it wouldn't be Space Academy without working in some LEGO robotics and building/launching model rockets! (Students will be divided into smaller groups by grade, and curriculum adjusted accordingly. Advanced Space Academy will be for grades 7 - 9.)
