Space Phenomena
Probe the mysteries of meteors and bounce around satellite light in this phenomenal program on space events!

Sun and 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!

Rocket Science 1& 2 (Two weeks)
Explore the science involved in rocket construction as you build your own Skyblazer II Rocket™ that you can take home!

Space Travel
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!

Living in Space
Live the life of an astronaut as you suit up for space flight! Participate in a space mission and make your very own Cosmic Chronometer™ watch to measure the time here on Earth.

Seeking Space
Take a look at celestial bodies as we construct a telescope that you will take home to observe stars, comets and satellites with!

(Programs shorter than ten weeks will see some of these classes, however we cannot specify which ones will be done for short programs.  Clubs that run longer than ten weeks will be followed or preceded by a supplemental mini session-topics to be determined)
