STEM-Based Space Exploration Crafts and Activities

At Kidworks USA Pre-School in Hialeah, Florida, they created their own STEM-based Space Academy where the students got to do all kinds of space exploration-themed crafts and activities!

All of the kids learned a lot and had a bunch of fun!

STEM-Focused Fun with Space Exploration

STEM is short for Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics. It is an acronym used to describe activities or crafts that involve those four disciples to some degree all being used together! The children at Kidworks USA did a lot of STEM-related activities as they practiced building accurate Solar System models out of all kinds of items and tools. Some students used crafts and others utilized rocks as they designed and painted their solar systems. Other activities involved creating models of what a planet's surface might look like when examined close-up. Students also imagined what a base on Mars could appear as and designed their own model of an imaginary set up on Mars. All of the crafts and activities were phenomenal!
