Community Science Projects

Mission L.E.O is an interdistrict, immersive, high school program that has participants simulate what it might be like to take part in the exploration of an exoplanet.  Students will work together in teams to successfully launch and deliver materials to Planet X.

 

They will explore the terrain and take soil samples. When they return safely back to Earth, they will then analyze the samples to determine the best location to build a habitat.  

 

Students will take part in two different rocket launches; one designed with budget and distance in mind and the other with payload safety.  They will also program robots to act as R.O.V.s!  
 

This interdisciplinary program provides excellent enrichment opportunities for students.  Participation in this program will look great on college resumes.  Students who complete this program will receive a certificate to add to those college portfolios! 

​

Pertinent study tracks for this program include engineering, computer coding, biochemistry, and environmental studies.

​

Includes lunch for each participant! Financial assistance applications available upon request.
