The Aldrin Family Foundation’s annual Space Curriculum Collaborative brought educators from across the country together to learn, collaborate, create, and recharge.
Throughout the Collaborative, educators learned from an incredible group of speakers—Kristen, Brian, Maddy, and Carmen—who shared their knowledge, experiences, and passion for space and STEM. Their insights sparked new ideas and conversations that educators could carry into their lesson development and, ultimately, back to their students.
Educators worked together to develop space-themed lessons to take back to their schools, exchanged ideas with one another, and had the opportunity to explore Kennedy Space Center—reconnecting with the curiosity and wonder they work so hard to spark in their own students.
Some wonderful partners helped make the experience even more special.
A huge thank you to Moleskine for providing space-inspired notebooks for our educators. From the glow-in-the-dark astronaut on the cover to the space illustrations, prompts, planets, and doodle pages inside, the notebooks were a hit!
Our educators said it best: “LOVE LOVE LOVE the Moleskine notebooks with the ‘glow-in-the-dark’ space theme! It was out of this world!” — Celeste S.
And a big thank you to For the Win for providing lunch and keeping our educators fueled for a full day of learning, creating, connecting, and exploring.
We are incredibly grateful for partners who recognize the importance of investing in educators. When teachers have opportunities to learn, explore, collaborate, and be inspired themselves, they bring that excitement back to their classrooms—and share it with the next generation of explorers.
