Complete Turn-Key Programs
DiscoverSpace Science programs are the most comprehensive, immersive and educational Space Science programs available. Utilizing advanced digital resources, our unique turn-key programs provide everything needed to integrate space science into your classroom, or create a Space Science Club and inspire middle school and high school youth with the wonders of NASA missions, Earth science, astronomy and space exploration. And our optional Special Events will let them experience space science first-hand by using professional scientific equipment.
Easy to Start
All that's required is for your students to have desktop computers, laptops, notebooks or a computer lab with Internet connectivity.
