Summer is fast approaching and that means it is time to book a summer space edventure camp at one of Utah County's Space EdVenture Centers. The Space EdVenture Centers are; The Christa McAuliffe Space Center in Pleasant Grove with its large planetarium and six simulators (Magellan, Cassini, Phoenix, Odyssey, Galileo, and Falcon); The Space Place at Renaissance Academy in Lehi with Utah's largest starship simulator, the USS Voyager. The Lion's Gate Space Center at Lakeview Academy in Saratoga Springs with the Apollo and Artemis Starship simulators; and the Telos Discovery Space Center at Telos Academy in Orem with the Hyperion Starship Simulator. Screen shots of their summer booking pages are below.
Honor's Night August 2016. See How They've Grown, Changed, Aged, and Expanded Over the Years ;)
I was looking at old posts in the original Troubadour Blog and came across photos from the Honor's Night of August 2016 and had this overwhelming urge to share them with you today. All of you Voyager Volunteers know these people. I'm sure you'll enjoy seeing them back in the day when they were young black shirt volunteers just like you earning their honors and Royal Blues. Sit back, relax and have some fun with this window back in time nearly 8 years.....
Congratulations to the 4th Grade Lions Young Astronaut Squadron. What a Fantastic Year in the Starship Voyager!
Did you know that the Voyager Club has an organization for students in the 3rd - 5th grade called The Young Astronauts?
The Space Place at Renaissance Academy has over 100 Young Astronauts enrolled in this year's club. They are divided into squadrons of 8-10 members each. Each squadron begins a Long Duration Mission (LDM) every September. The missions take place aboard the Starship Voyager. The missions in sometime during April and May. The LDM is one mission divided into 7 episodes. The Young Astronauts do one episode per month. Their missions are supplemented with lessons in space history, astronomy, math, and science. Today we congratulate the 4th Grade Lion Squadron on a fantastic finish to their mission into the Cardilir Neutral Zone to study the star Betelgeuse. They almost went down when the star went supernova (notice all the smoke on the bridge) but managed a daring escape at the last second. The Imaginarium Theater
