What features does an alien need to survive on another planet? NASA/JPL Solar System Ambassador Brenda Culbertson will share information about the environment on another world, then challenge you to create an alien that could live there using everyday objects. Make your alien on Thursday, August 8 at 10:30 and 1:30 at the Kansas Children’s Discovery Center.
NASA’s Solar System Ambassadors program works with motivated volunteers across the nation to share the latest science and discoveries of NASA’s missions through a variety of events that inspire their communities. Ambassador Brenda Culbertson is an advanced astronomer, instructor, author, photographer, and speaker. This program is a part of Discovery Space, an out-of-this-world exhibit where you can climb aboard a rocket ship, contact mission control, dress up for a space race and learn about the science of space at the Discovery Center through August 14.
Regular admission applies, which is $7.75 for children and adults, $6.75 for seniors, and free for infants under 12 months and Discovery Center members. Admission also lets you play all day at the Kansas Children’s Discovery Center with over 15,000 square feet of indoor educational exhibits exploring science, careers, art, building and more, plus a 4.5 acre certified Nature Explore Outdoor Classroom.
