Mathematics
Space Math Academy
Explore mathematics through interactive space missions inspired by NASA educational problems.
- Ages K–12
- Interactive educational game
What kids actually do
Children step into space-themed missions framed as NASA mission control training.
They work through mathematics and physics problems drawn from the NASA Space Math curriculum— the same kinds of calculations scientists use for orbits, trajectories, and mission planning.
A sci-fi storyline and voice narration help the missions feel like an urgent space operation rather than a static worksheet.
What kids can learn
These are learning areas the project is designed to support—not guaranteed outcomes.
- Mathematical reasoning and applied problem-solving
- Physics and math in real NASA mission contexts
- Connecting classroom math to space exploration scenarios
