Simple and fun learning activities to share with children.

Clues from Ancient Light - With the GALEX space telescope, astronomers know the age of a source's light by its degree of red shift. In this learning-by-analogy activity, kids arrange pictures of familiar objects by judging which is older.

Paint by Pixels - Make a picture using a technique similar to that used by many NASA spacecraft to record and send pictures back to Earth.

Make your own 2-D Flying Nanosat!
Make a Robo-Puzzle . . . Then Just Try to Solve It!
