From First Launch to Advanced Missions
Space Trek offers a variety of add-on programming for your field trip to Kennedy Space Center, each featuring one of our very own in-house educational tools, such as our robotics platform, the ExoNaut, and water rocketry featuring our HydroLaunch rocketry kits. Programming packages can be created for two to four hours in length, and include both robotics and rocketry. Student groups may range from 15 students to 80 students in a rotation.
Rocketry (2-4 hours)
Students will learn the basics of ballistic rocketry while building and launching their own HydroLaunch water rocket. For longer programming, students will predict, collect and analyze launch data from the field and classroom utilizing our Bottle Engine Testing Apparatus, or BETA. Field trip programming is aligned to both state and national standards
Robotics (2-4 hours)
Students will learn the basics of programming through our very own arduino-based ExoNaut platform. For shorter programming sessions (~2 hours), students will operate pre-built ExoNauts on missions and challenges in teams. For longer sessions (~4 hours), students can build portions of the ExoNaut and use the robot in a variety of challenges.
Please note that short courses in robotics and rocketry may be combined. Large groups of more than 30 students will be split into smaller groups and rotated through the experience. Please contact Space Trek for more information and to schedule your out-of-this-world field trip experience today!
