Students take the lead in this project-based learning environment allowing for in-depth understanding and big-picture connections.<\/p>\n<p>The evening included 4 missions for families: Building a Boat, Space Docking, Tallest Tower, and Straw Rockets. Volunteers from the Orange County Astronomers Club also brought their telescopes for viewings of the night sky. All in all, the night was a successful event promoting logic, investigation, and solutions for real-world challenges.\u00a0 Great job, Explorers!<\/p>\n<p><a
