My Project

Space travel is inspirational. Human kind is naturally inquisitive and I want to inspire students to learn and explore and engage in learning outside the classroom. We have begun to explore our unit of physics and we hope to culminate our learning with an all inclusive rocket project.

Space technology has allowed us to use environmental monitoring to protect our planet and even combat climate change..

With Environmental monitoring, we can check on pollution, the polar ice caps, we can even use satellites to plan for sustainable resources. By exposing our students and focusing on how space technology can help protect our planet, we are inspiring today's youth to make a difference in our world.
