Ryan Elementary School STEAM Night: Ryan families are invited to have fun exploring the many worlds of our solar system. Learn about the Sun and how its ocean of solar wind plasma flows through the solar system. Learn about NASA’s robotic explorers and the amazing worlds they have discovered. Use your art, engineering, and life science skills to picture how life might adapt to worlds beyond Earth, create your own planetary magnetic shield, and design future robotic explorers.
