Gerstell Academy’s LEGO League Jr. and LEGO League teams are enjoying this season’s themes, MISSION MOON and INTO ORBIT. The program focuses on building interest in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) using a real-world challenge. This year the First LEGO League Jr. students are working in teams to design and build a moon bases using research, critical thinking, and imagination.

 

This Saturday, October 20, is a wonderful opportunity for all Gerstell Academy families to practice Gerstell Academy Leadership Principle #10, “Humble yourself before Almighty God and respect the divine nature of life in the universe.” We are encouraging Gerstell families to make their own observations of the moon on International Observe the Moon Night. It’s your time to explore!

 

International Observe the Moon Night is an annual worldwide public event that encourages observation, appreciation and understanding of our Moon and its connection to NASA planetary science and exploration.

 

After the sun sets, head outside and catch a glimpse of the Moon. All you need to do is look up!

 

Additionally, each year thousands of people participate at museums, planetaria, schools, universities, observatories, parks, businesses, and backyards around the world. Anyone can participate. To learn more about INOM to find an event near you, follow this LINK.
