Melinda Stevens and her first-grade class at Landstuhl Elementary Middle School transform their classroom into Stevens’ Space Museum March 24. The museum is equipped with a NASA space station, a hanging satellite with real lights and robots. College and career ready math skills are essential for each student “astronaut” to master in order to solve the challenging math problems they will encounter on their trip to space.
