Space Club – Explore and Connect With Fellow Space Enthusiasts! (Ages 8-12)

🚀 Blast Off into Space! A 50-Week Rotating Adventure for Young Explorers 🌠

Calling all space enthusiasts! If your learner has ever dreamed of soaring through the stars, exploring alien worlds, or unraveling the mysteries of the universe, this is the class for him/her!

In this ongoing space adventure, we’ll explore a new and exciting space topic every week—from the planets in our solar system to distant galaxies, black holes, space missions, and more! With 50 unique rotating topics, there’s always something new to discover, and I’ll be adding and updating topics along the way to keep up with the latest space discoveries. Learners can drop in at anytime in any week.

Each class includes an engaging presentation where I’ll guide learners through the week’s topic, and they will always have a chance to ask questions, share thoughts, and discuss cool space facts with fellow space lovers. Plus, we’ll track upcoming space events—like meteor showers, planet alignments, and rocket launches—so we will always know when to step outside and look up!

Whether you're a future astronaut, scientist, or just someone who loves space, come join our cosmic crew as we journey through the universe together! 🌎✨

No prior space knowledge needed—just curiosity and excitement! 🚀 See you among the stars!
