Elementary through high school students use a classroom lab kit to operate experiments in the classroom and then write code to run the same experiments on Quest Institute’s automated multipurpose platform on the International Space Station.

Level 2 (this product) is an experiment lab with more tools, components and functions than level 1.  It is appropriate for the classroom with a full curriculum and appropriate for students in the junior high and high school.

  • Hands-on ISS experiments
  • Based on LEGO Mindstorms platform
  • Portal uploading programs to the ISS and downloading experimental data
  • 30-hour curriculum (can be taught over a summer, semester, or full school year)
  • Requires a mentor (training available)
