Registration is required for each student participant. Parents/Guardians do not need to register but must stay on site during the program.

Session Topic:

Engineering Satellites, (Age 11-14)
Building a satellite takes many steps, requires help from a team, and needs creativity and innovation to make things work. Participants will explore the engineering design process and how scientists and engineers at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center use it to solve problems. They will also talk about tools and components of a satellite with demonstrations focusing on infrared light.
