March Mission

STEM Family Challenge

March Mission: Design and build a Star Catcher!

Ready to capture a little cosmic magic? This month’s Mission invites you to design and create a “Star Catcher”—a device or model that imagines how we might collect or observe stars in the night sky. Whether it’s inspired by science, fantasy, or a mix of both, your creation should reflect your understanding of stars and your family's unique creativity.

Let your imagination shine as bright as the stars!

Submissions due: March 24th
