Great Lakes Science Center is “Over the Moon” about the Artemis II mission, which sent four astronauts on a 10-day lunar flyby mission.
Families can take part in the Go for Launch! Design A Rocket family workshops at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. on Sunday, April 19. Design a rocket powered by rubber bands and launch it across the room! Can you build a rocket that can go to Mars? There is a $5 materials fee for the family workshops.
Then on April 18 and 19 join them for Over the Moon, a weekend filled with space related activities, including:
- Liftoff: Math in Space Science Show – 3-2-1 blast off! We use gravity-defying experiments to explore the stages of human flight outside Earth’s orbit and the mathematics that make it possible.
- Lunar Scavenger Hunt – Track down exhibits that tell the history of spaceflight and complete a map of the moon to earn a prize!
- Artemis Chat – Talk with a Science Center expert about the Artemis II mission, supported by an in-depth interactive presentation.
- Mission to STEM – Interact with the NASA Glenn Visitor Center with an augmented reality app!
- Space Food Cart – What do they eat in space? See real food prepared for astronauts up close and learn about how it’s made and eaten!
- Vacuum Demonstration Cart – Explore how materials behave in a vacuum, and how astronauts protect themselves in space!
Over the Moon activities are included with general admission. Visit GreatScience.com for ticket information.
