About this Event

Journey to Outer Space

Join us at Explorer Junior Ubi for an out-of-this-world experience designed for curious minds ages 5–8 who are ready to blast off into the wonders of the universe.

In this hands-on workshop, children build three science projects that connect fundamental STEM concepts to the real-world experience of space exploration. Every child will take their builds home to continue their discovery!

PROJECT 1: VR SPACE ODYSSEY (9:30 AM – 10:30 AM) Children construct their own VR goggles to investigate how lenses and focal lengths create immersive 3D environments. Using their goggles, they will explore planetary wonders, blending technology with a sense of awe.

PROJECT 2: TRANSPORTATION TO SPACE (10:30 AM – 11:15 AM) Engineer a custom foam rocket and explore the laws of motion and aerodynamics. Through testing and launching, children discover what makes a rocket stable and how force dictates a flight path.

PROJECT 3: THE SOLAR SYSTEM (11:15 AM – 12:30 PM) Construct a detailed planetarium model while learning about the chemical compositions and physical properties of the different planets in our galaxy.
