Each issue comes with a story focused on real satellite imagery and an activity that can be used in programs, along-side peers, and with parents. Stories are complemented with a different hands-on activity to further engage children and young adults in science and satellite data. The activities vary to engage multiple types of learners. DIY Science experiments reinforce the science concepts from the main story. Maker Corner activities connect science with engineering. Data Viz let's kids engage with different ways of looking at and interpreting satellite data. Data Detective focuses on engaging kids with real satellite data connected to hands-on activities to answer science questions. Our goal is to put the publication in the hands of kids who are interested in current non-fiction about our planet and use hands-on activities to connect science with unifying global issues that affect all humans on Earth.
