About Cosmic Cartographers

Cosmic Cartographers is a year-round space exploration program designed for middle school students ages 11–14 at the Indio Library. Across three 10-week sessions from October through June, a small cohort of up to 18 students will embark on an immersive journey through astronomy, planetary science, and the technologies used to explore our universe.

​

This isn't just a class about space — it's an opportunity for students to think like scientists.

​

Using advanced 3D space simulation technology and hands-on scientific modeling, students will investigate planets, stars, and cosmic phenomena while learning how scientists analyze data, test ideas, and solve complex problems.

Program Highlights

Explore Worlds Beyond Earth
Analyze planetary and stellar data while investigating orbits, atmospheres, and the life cycles of stars through immersive simulations.

​

Think Like Scientists
Develop hypotheses, test variables, and use the scientific method to model cosmic events like impacts, fluid dynamics, and gravitational phenomena.

​

Navigate the Universe Digitally
Build spatial and digital literacy by exploring 3D environments and transforming complex astronomical concepts into visual data.

 

Share Their Discoveries
Collaborate with peers to create a digital Captain's Log showcasing their research, discoveries, and storytelling skills.

Skills Beyond the Stars

Throughout Cosmic Cartographers, students strengthen the skills that prepare them for success in school, future careers, and everyday life. By investigating scientific questions, interpreting data, collaborating with peers, and communicating their discoveries, participants develop critical thinking, problem-solving, digital literacy, and confidence.

​

Aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), the program encourages students to ask bold questions, think analytically, and approach challenges with curiosity. Whether they pursue careers in science, engineering, medicine, technology, or an entirely different path, they'll leave with skills that extend far beyond the stars.
