For kids:
In this futuristic story, Karalana is excited to join her mom on an out-of-this-world vacation. Soon they'll be en route to the International Space Station, ISS, exploring the universe. What Karalana doesn’t know is that an unexpected turn of events will change everything! She’ll make new friends, explore unknown places, and learn what is really important for survival.
Will your knowledge of outer space and survival skills help Karalana overcome the challenges she’s about to encounter?

What is a challenge quest? A challenge quest focuses on 21st century skills such as problem solving, collaboration, outside-the-box and critical thinking, and innovation. This set of activities introduces a problem or mystery in a story-like journal and allows free exploration to discover new knowledge and to use tools in a different / new way. Challenges integrate academics with a child’s natural curiosity and creativity while teaching life skills via our Maker Lab Studios. Learners have an intrinsic desire to learn new things and gain new skills because we focus on one’s personal best. We encourage trying. We establish that mistakes are okay and we can learn from them. Learners build, deepen, or cement understanding by making. We define the learning goals and provide structure, scaffolds, and support for learners in the Challenge Quest Journal. We provide a Challenge Kit and sometimes an alias that aligns with the story characters.
