Space Nerds Unite Chat Group is asynchronous, we will not have any live meetings.
Does your child enjoy looking at the stars, reading books about rockets, the Planets, the Moon, or the Sun? Do they get excited when they hear about Black Holes, Exoplanets, or the Universe? Do they crave to know more, explore deeper, and learn all they can? Then enroll them in this group! 
The goal of this group is to make connections with other Space enthusiasts, as well as those just getting into the topic of Space, while discovering interesting facts, interacting with each other, and completing various Space-themed activities with other Space Nerds.
Teacher Kristina will post a minimum of one thread per week regarding Space which will encourage students to chat with each other, share their ideas, drawings, pictures, videos, jokes, and more. Teacher Kristina will act as the head Space Nerd, and will comment on students’ posts and interact with learners, all while ensuring a safe and fun environment for all the Space Nerds on board. 
Discussions will vary depending on the interests of the students, but will always be about Space.
Learners will be highly encouraged to add their own posts, share their ideas, Space news, questions for their classmates about Space topics, show off their creations such as drawings or paintings, and much more. These posts can be a huge variety about Space, and the more the learners post, the more interaction they will experience with other learners from around the globe.
