On August 29, 2020, our friends at the Children’s Museum of New Hampshire kicked off their Maker and Food Fest. This year, they took their annual event online, inviting engineers, artists, scientists, chefs, and makers of all kind to contribute virtually.

The goal of the Artemis Program is "to land the first woman and the next man on the Moon by 2024... hopefully making advances that will allow us to someday send humans to Mars."​
