let's explore space, isolated Earth habitats (like Antarctica!) and functional space communities!

DESTINATION: SPACE UNDER WATER
Activity Duration: 90+ min 
​Recommended Age: K-College
Design and build an underwater habitat with household items or in virtual reality.
​SPACE EXPLORATION: MISSION TO MINE
Activity Duration: 60-120 minutes
Recommended Age: 10-13
Planets, moons, and asteroids may have valuable resources that can help humans explore space.  In this activity you will design a poster to recruit the crew you will need to launch a "Mission to Mine" space resources.
THINK -  Imagine Isolated habitats like Antarctica & whole cities in space!
CREATE - Sooooo…..How’s YOUR habitat design coming?
  • It’s time to model your spacecraft, off-planet home, or Earth-based habitats and cities…. real or imagined!
  • Not sure how to use what you have laying around? Click here to be inspired by artist Kiel Johnson who uses cardboard to make just about anything!
  • Click here to send us images of your models or share your habitat picture using #DesignYourHabitat in your Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. 
CREATE - Ready to Think Beyond?
  • Think Beyond the Thin Blue Line of Our Home Planet to the Awe and Wonder of Our Place in the Universe? Our friends, Astronaut Nicole Stott and The Space For Art Foundation invite you to do just that, click here to share your art.
  • Or, submit it to us at SciArt Exchange by clicking  here ​​
 THINK - How do you CHARM your Habitat-Mate?
If you’re sharing an isolated and confined habitat, you need to get along!  Watch NASA Astronaut Stan Love's video in our speaker series and get some tips on how to "CHARM" them!
  • Take CARE
  • HELP Others
  • Take ACTION
  • RESPECT Your Teammates
  • Serve the Needs of MANY
CREATE - Ready to Build Your City in Space?
#XpandYourHorizon from your own Earthly habitat and build a model of a City in Space!
  • What will you need to build your city? How big is it? Where is it?
  • Use what you have in your home right now to model it - recycling, crafting, paints, markers, scissors.
  • Share pictures of your Cities in our submission system or use #DesignYourHabitat in your social media to post them.
