  • Ages 5–10 
  • Parents/caregivers 
  • Mobility-friendly 
  • Build and blast a paper rocket. 
  • Design and test a mini-parachute to land safely. 
  • Create a space rover and launch it over different terrains. 
  • Tinker, test, and explore how gravity and motion affect your space creations.
  • Use your imagination to complete missions like a real space engineer! 
  • How gravity, force, and motion affect flight and landing. 
  • The basics of engineering and testing prototypes. 
  • Problem-solving and teamwork skills.
  • Ask children about the rockets, rovers, and parachutes they build and test—what worked, what didn’t, and why. 
  • Explore engineering concepts together by trying different designs. 
  • Support collaboration by encouraging group “missions” or team-builds with siblings or friends. 
  • Take time to reflect with your child: What would they change or try next time?
