Classroom Activities

North Dakota Space Grant Consortium supports educators in the classroom with resources and opportunities.  Check out all the opportunities below.

Hands-on Activities

NDSGC uses various STEM and NASA lesson plans in K-12 STEM engagements.  Many of these activities are inquiry-based, hands-on, and involve working in teams.

North Dakota Space Grant’s Escape from Astronaut Training offers students in grades 6-8 an opportunity to complete a series of cross-curricular astronaut training challenges. 

NDSGC is committed to providing STEM support across the state of North Dakota.  Our AT-Home STEM Kits allow students to conduct a simple STEM activity wherever they live, with adult supervision.

STEM Ambassadors

Classroom visits are often conducted by NDSGC STEM Ambassadors (ND college students).  They often lead hands-on STEM lessons in the classroom and share opportunities available to students.

NDSGC allows students to submit a letter to a STEM Ambassador with the goal of STEM Pals to encourage communication and cultivate curiosity in the fields of STEM.  Fill out the form to begin correspondence.
