Astronauts in the Making

Help me give my students science equipment to help them prepare for their Challenger Center Mission!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Manoa's classroom raised $254

My Students

The 6th graders at my school are kind-hearted and hard-working students. They are the kind of students who really want to make a difference in their community. They just need the guidance and resources necessary to make it happen!

My Project

Our 6th graders are preparing to go to the Challenger Center of Hawaii where they will honor the astronauts who perished in the 1986 Challenger Explosion by running a simulated space mission. In order to prepare for this mission, our students must complete over 30 science lessons required by the Challenger Center. The majority of the prerequisite lessons require science tools that we do not have. Please help us to obtain these tools so that we can properly honor those astronauts who gave their lives for the sake of space exploration.
