In a world which has become largely digital, more and more young people are lacking in communication and conversational skills. This Space Club will help Learners learn how to interact and converse with other Outschool students from various parts of the world, increasing their ability to ask and answer questions, and discuss Space-related topics; as well as show respect to others during discussions. 
Learners will also discover more about Space and current Space-related news & topics.
Learners will create something space-related during each class (arts and crafts, coloring, drawing, and/or creating unique art).

I have always had a love of space, from the moment my grandpa, an amateur astronomer, let me look through his 10-foot telescope he built all by himself, to look at the rings around Saturn! I have since built my own telescopes, and with these various telescopes have been able to spot some of the largest dust storms to hit Mars, identify the craters on the Moon, and see Jupiter and its Galilean Satellites, all from my backyard in Missouri! I spend my spare time watching shuttles lift-off & the satellites orbit past me as I stargaze, keeping my eyes ready to see those shooting stars/meteors as they fall! I have never ceased my exploration and search, looking to the skies to watch for eclipses, comets, and so much more! My love of all things Space has only increased with time, and I feel it is the next great wave of the future! As a teacher with a Master’s Degree in Teaching & over 30 years of experience working with children of various ages, and more than 7 years teaching students about Space, as well as other Science-related subject-matter, I love sharing my knowledge with the next generation. My hope is to instill the awe-inspiring beauty the Unknown Universe holds, as well as encourage students to dream and believe! I hope to see you in class as we Blast-Off to Space together!
