• Earth Science ISS Challenge

  When Richard is in space, he took many photographs of the Earth, many of which replicated the photographs his father, astronaut Dr. Owen Garriott took 35 years ago on Skylab. This project adds new activities for teachers and student to use to learn about viewing the Earth from space, and included student targets to Richard's list of photographs he took on orbit in space.

• Garriott Science Challenge

  Richard Garriott is a preeminent game developer and son of NASA Skylab Astronaut Dr. Owen Garriott. As a private space explorer, Richard followed the lead of Educator Astronaut Barbara Morgan (STS-118), through interactive lessons before, during and after his spaceflight to motivate and inspire students. His flight to the International Space Station occurred in October 2008.

• NASA Engineering Design Challenge

  Join the Challenger Center for Space Science Education and NASA’s K-12 Engineering Design Challenge and have your students design a mini-greenhouse for use by future astronauts living and working on the moon and receive space-flown basil seeds returned by the NASA’s Educator Astronaut Barbara Morgan.
