Students in this club are challenged to design a two-module space station that produces artificial gravity through centripetal acceleration. Students in grades 3–8 at St. John’s meet on Mondays and Wednesdays after school to explore key physics concepts and engineering design challenges. Through hands-on learning, they step into the roles of engineers and scientists while discovering what it takes to explore space.   This project began with a Challenge from Space for Teachers in collaboration with many organizations.  Learn more click here  projecthailmary 

So far student have learned what center of mass is and how to find center of mass.  Students have learned the difference between centripetal and centrifugal force.
