How good are you at engineering?

Your challenge: design a 'moon lander' spacecraft that can carry a precious egg cargo safely to the ground from a great height.

A fun workshop where children learn how NASA engineers design spacecraft to land on extraterrestrial planets. Specifically tests children's ability to problem solve using a set amount of materials and a time limit.

Content covers deceleration, crumple zones, cushioning, retro rockets, extraterrestrial atmospheres and current NASA space missions.

Requirements

- Appropriate for children aged 7 years and up, maximum 30 students

- 2 tables arranged around the front of the room

- Chairs not required

- Duration 45 minutes

- Set up time 20 minutes and pack up time 30 minutes

Cost

- $275 inc. GST per workshop

For centres on the NSW Central Coast, Southern Highlands, Blue Mountains or Wollongong district please contact us to discuss how this workshop can visit your vacation centre.

Unlike others we don't charge per child as we know that this causes an additional administrative load on your administration. Most centres tend to fill the workshops based on our recommended maximum number of children. If you have any questions please contact us.
