Space Museum Blasts to Success!

We are delighted to report that the highly anticipated New School Space Museum was a resounding success! New Schoolers were challenged to create a hands-on and interactive learning experience suitable to adult and child audiences and they delivered!

On May 17, elementary students from Horizon Christian School, Little Oak Montessori, and other neighborhood schools visited to learn from the New School middle school students. The New School students had a short break before the Museum resumed operation and opened to families, friends, and the general public including one local journalist.

Journalist Cole Goodwin stopped by after seeing a Space Museum flyer in town and wrote a terrific article about the event! Be sure to check the review here: “Showcasing Student-Created Exhibits and Inspiring Science Education”

“One highlight of the event was a wormhole display, where participants can learn about these cosmic phenomena and immerse themselves in the experience by grabbing a glow stick and walking through a tunnel filled with streamers, painted cardboard to simulate light bending around you as you approach unfathomable speeds, as well as the black hole and white hole on either end of the wormhole. A white hole is a black hole running backward and time. A white hole spits things out as opposed to sucking them in with gravity like a black hole.” - Goodwin
