Gateway to the Moon + Art Class

NASA is leading the effort to build Gateway, a space station that will orbit the Moon. This futuristic outpost will play a crucial role in space exploration, serving as:

🛰️ A science laboratory for groundbreaking research
🔧 A testbed for new space technologies
🌕 A rendezvous point for lunar exploration missions
🎯 A mission control center for Moon operations
🚀 A stepping stone for future journeys to Mars

A Home Among the Stars

When fully built, Gateway will house four astronauts for up to three months at a time. They will conduct scientific research, test new technology, and travel to the lunar surface to prepare for even longer missions into deep space.

Why Build a Space Station Around the Moon?

🔬 Advance space health research – Study the effects of cosmic radiation and solar storms beyond Earth’s magnetic shield
🌍 Explore the Moon like never before – Conduct cutting-edge science on the lunar surface
🛠️ Test revolutionary technology – Experiment with tools for future space missions
✨ Observe the universe – Study the stars, the Sun, and even Earth from a new perspective
🌎 Easier returns to Earth – A strategic location for missions beyond low Earth orbit

Your Mission

Now, it’s your turn! Design and build your own Gateway space station and showcase it to your friends. What will your outpost look like? How will it help astronauts explore deeper into space? Let’s bring your vision of the future to life! 🚀🔭

Following the Gateway to the Moon activity, the youth will engage in a creative art session with our Art Teachers every Sunday. They will work on a variety of projects that encourage self-expression and artistic development.

Parents are welcome to pick up their children between 16:45 and 17:00.

📢 Parents: Feel free to drop off your kids and take some time for errands, or enjoy a quiet workspace in our study room!
