Homeschool Days: Cosmic Explorers: Blast Off & Beyond!

Prepare for an out-of-this-world adventure! Young explorers will engineer and test their own Mars landers, using creativity and problem-solving skills to protect an astronaut during heart-racing landing challenges. They'll journey through the solar system in an immersive planetarium show and discover how real Mars rovers help scientists unlock the secrets of the Red Planet. It’s the perfect launch into STEM through hands-on engineering and space exploration!

Join us for a special day of learning designed for homeschool families! Each program begins with an interactive presentation or film in the Caperton Planetarium and Theater, followed by a hands-on STEM Lab experience in our classrooms.

Families register and attend together, with both students and adults participating in the planetarium and lab activities.

Children who receive Hope Scholarship funds may allocate those funds for this program through the Hope Scholarship Portal. Please note: scholarship funds can only be applied to the cost of the child’s participation and cannot be used to cover adult admission. Once funds are allocated in the portal, the Clay Center will contact you to finalize your registration. If you have not heard from us after 2 business days, do not hesitate to contact our Box Office for further assistance.

Limited space available. Early registration is recommended.
