How To Sign Up Your Student Now as Space Becomes More Popular

According to Space Daily, over 50% of kids want to become an astronaut or have an interest in space exploration.  Credit for that goes to interest of "high-profile space missions, such as the Artemis program, which aims to land the first woman and the next man on the Moon, and SpaceX's ambitious plans for Mars colonization".

If your child is one of those that has shown an interest in space and you want to sign them up, or for more information, contact 406-453-049 ext. 215 or email kaltizer@greatfallslibrary.org as space is limited.  The workshops will be held in the Cordingly Room at the library each Tuesday from 3:45pm to 5pm each session.
