Lunar Lander Design Challenge for Tweens
This program for tweens was presented by the Space Foundation as part of All Pikes Peak Reads 2009. 10 kids ages 9 – 12, and parents as well, had loads of fun designing and building a lander similar to NASA’s Altair lander that would absorb enough shock to protect its three astronauts (in this case, three mini-marshmallows). Altair is the proposed Lunar lander that will land astronauts on the moon. It is being built by NASA as part of the Constellation program.

I’m so sorry! This is a one-time program for the library’s All Pikes Peak Reads (APPR) space program. Please, please just come, you don’t have to sign up–could you get a friend to come whose parent would drive you both up to East?
