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

Melody reading Mae Among the Stars


This month, you are reading Mae Among the Stars! To bring the story to life, you will design your own Astronaut Training Course at home—think Ninja Warrior, space edition.

Use safe household items to create an obstacle course that tests balance, strength, coordination, or problem-solving. Draw a map or plan of your course and bring it to school to share. For extra fun, try running your course with friends or family members at home.

Bring in your course plan and you’ll earn a small piece of candy to celebrate your creativity and hard work. We can’t wait to see you train like a future astronaut!
