The NASA STEM Forward to the Moon Educators Guide accompanies the broadcast, and targets middle school students in informal educational settings or with their families.
It tells the story of NASA’s plans to go forward to the Moon, through hands-on STEM activities. The guide immerses students in the ideas, concepts and experiences that make mission planning, operations, exploration and sustainability on the Moon possible.
