Abstract
Space Day is an educational program sponsored by Lockheed Martin and uses the topic of space to nurture children’s interest in studying science, math, engineering and technology. Space Day programs reach students ranging from early elementary through middle school, with program elements progressively becoming more difficult. The Space Day Tool Kit provides a variety of hands-on educational activities using inexpensive everyday materials, and makes hosting a Space Day event easy for anyone to do. Children in grades 4-8 may participate in a national competition called Design Challenges, in which students learn through inquiry and discover that research and engineering are fun.
