As a federal partner in Find Your Place in Space Week, the Department of Energy (DOE) invites you to explore their space-inspired K-12 STEM resources on its website. We hope you find helpful materials that equip and empower your students to discover, explore, and create their place in space!
Find Your Place In Space Week is April 6-13, 2024. Whether you are a space expert or newly interested in the ‘final frontier,’ there is something in this week for you. Join the National Space Council, agencies from across the Biden-Harris Administration, and people from across our nation as we explore what it means to ‘find your place in space.’
Resources from DOE
Inspire students to explore the possibilities of nuclear technology on Earth before planning their own colony on the moon. Along the way, students will meet a variety of stellar special guests who share their out-of-this-world experiences.
This STEM Project Starter will engage students to answer these essential questions, “Why is energy needed in space colonies? How could we power a Martian colony?”
Federal STEM Resources
Space inspires our students' curiosity, imagination, and aspirations. That makes space an exciting and motivating lens to teach STEM subjects. The Your Place in Space collection is your one-stop shop to find K-12 space STEM materials from our Federal partners.
The Space Career Resource Guide is a collection of one-page profiles that showcase a range or space careers beyond being an astronaut or rocket scientist - from nuclear engineers to planetary defenders.
