School Programs

SpacePort has quickly become one of Calgary's premier sites for school and community groups. We have developed entertaining and educational programs that have garnered rave reviews from teachers and group leaders alike. Developed in collaboration with Science Alberta Foundation and Vancouver's MacMillan Space Centre, our educational programs are closely tied to the Alberta curriculum and engage students through active participation and hands-on fun.

We offer programs in stageshow and workshop formats, allowing you to mix and combine programs to match your needs. Our Educational Program Director will help tailor the program for your class.

We aim to integrate our school programs into and beyond the classroom: we will send a pre-visit program guide and confirmation letter to suggest further avenues of exploration, pre-and-post visit activities, a glossary of fun science terms, and a summary of curricular connections. The programs will be customized for the needs, knowledge, and age range of your class.

All programs include a simulator ride for each student; students will also have time to explore our exhibits and displays. Dairy Queen ice milk cones can be added for an optional treat.
