Discover space & creativity at The Art of Science! Kids explore Europa or create planetary art. Part of NASA ASTRO CAMP®, inspiring future astronauts with STEM fun. Registration required.

The Art of Science: A NASA Astro Camp® Series 
Explore the exciting connection between space and creativity in this two-part series! 

  • Make a Colorful Crayon Europa – Sunday, October 12, 2025, 2–3 p.m., Grades K–2 
    Jupiter’s moon Europa may hold twice as much water as Earth—but its frozen, bumpy surface is full of ridges, cracks, and textures. In this hands-on activity, kids will explore these unique features and imagine what life beyond Earth could look like. 
  • The Cosmic Connection – Thursday, October 23, 2025, 5–6 p.m., Grades 3–5 
    Students will investigate real NASA planetary images, then use pastels to create artistic interpretations of planets, moons, or asteroids. By focusing on line, color, and texture, participants will see how both artists and scientists study our universe through careful observation.

The goal of NASA ASTRO CAMP® is to give all students the chance to experience STEM—Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics—inspiring future astronauts and engineers through fun, hands-on NASA activities. 

Both sessions will be held in the Storytelling Room. Registration is required.
