The 2019-2020 NASA based Space Inspiration Program was produced by Lady Rocket Foundation, administered by Kosakovskiu Institutas and funded by the US Embassy in Vilnius and Lady Rocket Foundation. The program included connecting classes from Lithuania and America covering the same lessons and sharing their outcomes via art, photos and videos for approximately six weeks in duration. You can check out the photos and videos from the classes that participated.
Since the program ended prematurely due to the Coronavirus pandemic, Lady Rocket Foundation decided to open up the program to other students during this time, while students are at home, and fun educational online activities are needed to engage the youth. Since the Space Inspiration Program was designed to connect youth while providing hand-on space activities, we have modified the instructions for home use, and are having them translated into multiple languages.
