Educational Tours

Space School

Space School is designed to take the students through a challenging week-long exploration of their own engineering talents. Focus is on teamwork, problem solving, communication and adaptation to unexpected problems. Throughout the program, students must work within a NASA budget; knowing that funds or supplies for their projects may be decreased at any time due to budget cuts, OSHA safety regulations, or any other excuse deemed necessary by the staff to make the experience truly dynamic and representative of NASA engineering.

The students of the Space Center Houston's Space School will find themselves on an engineering mission to create the means to land a rover on the surface of Mars, analyze rock samples with a Reflectance Spectrometer, loft a rock sample into Martian orbit, and return back to Earth in a rocket of their own design.
