Solar Panels for Mission to the Moon

Help me give my students get solar panels for their Mission to the Moon Projects.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Covert-Pinca's classroom raised $222

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

This project is a part 2 to my Mission to the Moon project for the Young Astronauts Club. I broke the project up so that it was not so much for one project.

The solar panels and masking tape are a crucial part of the Engineering process in the student's design for Mission to the Moon project.

By completing this project for The Young Astronauts Club, students will understand how to work as a team to design and build their idea of the best way to have people live on the moon. Students will learn how to think critically, communicate, problem-solve, be a leader, and learn other critical 21st skills.
