Program Description
Event Details
Join the Sacred Heart University's Discovery Science Center & Planetarium for a Engineering for space program.
It’s hard enough to escape the Earth’s gravitational pull and make it safely to space,but staying safe in space presents a whole new set of engineering challenges. Astronauts must be protected from extreme heat, cold, vacuum, fast-moving debris,and they need to be able to breathe! In this program we’ll learn about the amazing innovations of space gear in this exciting demo that showcases the fascinating engineering challenges and solutions for exploring the “final frontier”. For those entering grades 5-8 in Fall of 2024.
