What educators are saying

This resource is a lifesaver. I am new to the curriculum and this is a huge stepping stone to help get better accustomed to it.
My students LOVED these projects. It was awesome seeing their gears turning trying to figure out how to accomplish the goal. I wish there were criteria that the students had to meet to be successful with each type of spacecraft. Overall great projects! Thanks!
