(formerly the Partnership for America's Future)
Our office was hustling about in preparation for Space
Day activities in Washington, DC. One of the things
we are most excited about is the Design Challenges
program. The Design Challenges offer classrooms
a chance for true creative a nd
scientific problem solving, something we at the Museum
have always endorsed. We are encouraging teachers in
our area and around the country to sign up for Design
Challenges and bring the excitement of Space Day
to your classroom.
Design Challenges...
Fly to the Future – build a model aircraft
of the future.
Planetary Explorers – design
a model spacecraft that can fly on Earth as well as
another planet or moon in our solar system.
Watt Power! – help save our planet’s
resources by developing a working model of an aircraft
that uses a renewable energy source.
