In an engaging hands-on adventure, students learn about the development of space-related technology and are led through several simulated missions where they must work together to overcome challenges and adversity.
The inspiring leadership and personal development will motivate students to “Dream Big and Commit to It”.
CASE Junior Space School Programs incorporate online and face-to-face instruction and practice of the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens. As a Certified Facilitator of the Habits, Axis Experience with Actura provides our Duke of Ed Participants with structured eLearning modules before and after expedition, as well as engaging and dynamic workshops during their time overseas.
These all lead into the STEAM Expert Challenge undertaken by Participants while in the USA, a space-related project providing a framework within which Participants can apply their newfound skills. Upon completion of the Section, Participants will understand the principles behind the 7 Habits, and gain insight into how to apply them to their everyday lives, school work, and personal goals..
