The McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center’s School Visit Discovery Scholarship opens access to hands-on, curriculum-aligned STEM learning, funded for up to 25 New Hampshire schools during the 2025–2026 school year, onsite or through Discovery Center outreach programs.

In Moon Base Alpha – A Cooperative Mission to the Moon, students ages 8–11 will step into the role of future space explorers as they work together to design a future mission to the Moon.

Our young astronauts-in-training will split into four mission teams—Launch Team, Habitat Team, Exploration Team, and Mission Headquarters—each in charge of some element of the future moon mission. From testing launch solutions to figuring out how astronauts will eat, sleep, and work on the Moon, every team plays a crucial part in creating a safe and successful Moon base.
