Activities
Build a lego rover
train like an astronaut
Groundbreaking science R&D
Exciting space walks
A big part of space exploration is nowadays entrusted to magnificent robotic rovers. Using legos, children will be able to give shape to their ideas for future missions, and test them on different types of soil. In this learning by doing activity, students will be engaged in hands-on, task-oriented exercises, developing problem solving skills and creativity.
A healthy mind in a healthy body: every day will start with a gym class focused on astronaut training. This and other total physical response activities will be used to help students learn specific STEAM vocabulary in many different languages. In an increasingly globalized civilization, getting in touch with various languages and cultures is an experience that cannot be overlooked.
stargazing
Train hard, live easy
Since the dawn of time, humans have been looking up at the sky, trying to make sense of the misterious beauty of the universe. With unique storytelling activities students will listen to adventures from the past, legends and myths, while observing stars and constellations of the northern hemisphere.
cook and eat space food
Balancing well-being, fostering success
A balanced diet is just as important as a good day of training for an astronaut. With cooking and eating experiences children will discover which nutrients are necessary for a healthy body, while working together in cooperative learning focused activities.
