Interstellar Dreams Space Center: Explore, Imagine, Design

Interstellar Dreams is a new take on a summer space camp, designed for rising 6th graders through rising 9th graders that blends “hands-on” fun and “minds-on” tech with their imagination to launch the future of space exploration. Campers will Explore space, Imagine the future, and Design the possibilities of ethical space exploration.  The Interstellar Dreams Space Center at George Mason University is a partnership between the Pearl Project Institute and George Mason University Observatories. Click here for more information and to register.

 

Habitable worlds have been a curiosity of humankind for thousands of years. Today, powerful ground telescopes and space satellites like Hubble and Kepler, have identified thousands of other planets called exoplanets (a planet that revolves around another star). Join our Interstellar Dreams one-week space camp as we utilize our current understanding of the atmospheres of exoplanets, the planets, moons, and minor bodies of the Solar System to look for signs of life in our Galaxy.
