Grades 7-9
Start your journey into space.
Curiosity is your fuel. This track gives it direction.
You already love space: the rockets, the satellites, the planets. School usually gives you textbooks, equations, and exams. Launchpad takes you beyond that.
Here you learn how space actually works through hands-on simulations, guided exploration, and a peer group that is just as obsessed with the subject as you are.

The Basics
Friendly, easy-to-grasp concepts on orbits, rockets, and satellites.
Visual Simulations
See missions play out in front of you instead of only reading theory.
Exciting Challenges
