Fiesta de la Tierra Micronaut Family Mission
Launch into the Fiesta season on a flight of imagination and exploration with the Fiesta de la Tierra Micronaut Family Mission!
Only 12 parent and 1st - 3rd grade child teams will become members of the crew for the 4th annual mission in the John L. Santikos Micronaut Center. Immersive student stations will excite students' imaginations and connect our young explorers to critical STEAM skills.
Investigate rocks and minerals, sort once living and non-living objects, pedal a bicycle to generate electricity, and shape the topography of a new world as just a few of the activities in this special mission to explore our world.
Tickets are $65 for an adult and a child in 1st through 3rd grades. An additional 1st through 3rd-grade child or adult may be added for an additional $20 fee. Included with your 90-min. mission are the tickets to a simulated launch to the International Space Station, the mission activities, and a small Fiesta party favor
This is a small and talented crew, so Fiesta de la Tierra today!

From Ordinary to Extraordinary: A Day for Pre-Service Teachers
Are you a college student enrolled in coursework to become an educator?
As you are certainly realizing, many experiences are outside of the typical studies that fill your educator toolbelt with strategies and enriching material for your students.
The DoSeum, SA Zoo, and Scobee Education Center have collaborated to create a day of professional development that will provide you with rich opportunities in all three of these exceptional educational venues. Learn the ins and outs of scheduling a field trip, access to free resources, and connect with us for future partnership opportunities.
If you have any questions, reach out to Kim Robinson at krobinson@doseum.org
A $35 registration fee is required, and lunch is included.
