3DuxDesign teams up with youth author, Isabella Spence to bring young scientists an inspiring space-themed book and a variety of hands-on projects that will keep kids busy learning and creating for hours. In the story, Bella and her sister embark on an adventure through space, learning about planets, comets, and more as they travel!
After reading the book, use the 3DuxDesign maker kit with project booklet and challenge your students to imagine what it would be like to discover a new planet that could sustain human life!
