Parents, Educators…. How much does your child know about our solar system and space exploration? The Exhibits and Displays team has created a unique interactive game to motivate, inspire and spark the interest of our next generation of explorers. The Space Game is divided into two levels – novice and advanced. Each level includes three sets of five questions about various space-related topics. The game ends with either a successful Delta launch or an “abort” message – depending on how well you answer the questions. Players can play online or download the game for future play.
The site also features a variety of downloadable screen savers, reference and activity sheets, and it's updated often. Check back for new games and resources.
