MISSION: SubSpace in the Classroom
I cannot even begin to put into words how thankful I am for you guys putting this together and working with me. The kids couldn't stop talking about it the rest of the day! This experience is something these kids will never forget, I know I'll never forget it. You guys opened their eyes to new future careers and a whole new field that they probably never would have thought to look into. Thank you again!

MISSION: SubSpace was the highlight of my students' year - they are still talking about it! It was one of the most engaging and authentic experiences I have participated in with my students. Not only did it allow them to make meaningful connections to the content they were learning, but it sparked interest in students who otherwise wouldn’t have had the opportunity to explore space technology. They felt like working for NASA!.
