Tweeted by Endeavour TechSpace Science is a favourite topic of young children! Recent launches by @SpaceX and @BoeingSpace keep their interest alive and I love that we provide space related learning opportunities well after the formal curriculum topic ends. Every mission shapes their future! Exciting!
