NASA Academy of Future Space Explorers:
Mad Science and NASA have teamed up to bring you
the excitement and wonder of space!
 Planets & Moons: Explore the farthest reaches of our solar system and create a lunar eclipse in this “mad” planetary tour! Learn how the planets stack up. Build and take home Kepler’s Cube, a fun and educational 3-D solar system puzzle!
Sun & Stars: This stellar program is your ticket to the stars! Watch star dust burn, and journey through a soapy galaxy as you investigate the life cycle of stars! Use your Bead Dipper to create a 3-dimensional glow-in-the-dark constellation!
Rocket Science: This is your chance to be a rocket scientist! Investigate the four forces of flight with the help of a Unique Flying Object! Explore the science involved in rocket construction as you build your own Skyblazer II Rocket that you can take home!
Space Travel: Learn what it takes to be a true 
globetrotter! Race a balloon rocket and design your own
car engine as you learn about thrust. See the principles of propulsion at work in a real rocket launch, and build your very own Shuttle Copter to fly to the skies!
Space Technology: Discover technology designed for outer space! Steer a laser beam through a laser maze, find hidden mountains using the principles of radar technology and discover everyday objects originally designed for use in space! Take home a Lightning Launcher that will light up the sky!
Living in Space: Experience the life of an astronaut as you suit up for space flight! Use teamwork to complete an important space mission, build a model space station and make your very own Cosmic Chronometer watch to measure the time here on Earth!
 Atmosphere & Beyond: We’re on a mission to explore the atmosphere on Earth, and beyond! Travel to the end of the rainbow and make a sunset! Mix up various planetary atmospheres, one molecule at a time! Discover how stars would look in space and see what makes stars twinkle using your very own Shimmering Stars!
Space Phenomena: Probe the mysteries of meteors and bounce around satellite light in this phenomenal program on space events! See comets up close as one is formed before your eyes, and take home your very own Catch-a-Comet!
Mad Science Time Machine
Join Mad Science for fun and exciting
hands-on science explo ration.
Aerodynamics: Wrestle with the strength of air and experiment with invisible forces that have incredible power. Build your own aeroflyer!
Radical Reactions: Experiment with substances that create amazing reactions. Young scientists conduct a chemical reaction using special crystals to make their own Mad Science Super Ball!
Incredible Machine: Explore the amazing abilities and functions of the human body. See what happens when you breathe. Students make their own working model of a human lung!
Secret Messages: Become a Science Spy and learn how to send secret messages using special codes. Learn how to keep secret information safe. Take home your own secret message decoder.
Mineral Mania: Peak beneath Earth’s crust and uncover its compisition. Learn about volcanoes and earthquakes. See how scientists find riches underground and pan for gems! Take home your own minerals.
Black & Blue Oceans: Oil can make quite a mess when it ends up where it isn't supposed to be. Cooperative groups plan and tackle the aftermath of a simulated spill. Test the effects of pollutants in water & see how we can change the future. Make your own wave mo dulator.
