This initiative tells the stories of three aspiring astronauts through the form of a series of comic books. The comic book adventures will engage Canadian students from grades 4-6 in curriculum-focused, space-rich science learning. The project will also provide content housed on an interactive website, developed in collaboration with the faculty of education and with members of the education community, to provide educators with hands-on activities related to space science and that will fully engage the student in mission-based experimentation while allowing the educator to monitor the progress of each individual student.
