Homeschool Day at the Virginia Air & Space Center Photos
Posted on Oct 13 2010 in Events by Yvonne Bunn
Last Wednesday (October 6), more than 1,000 homeschoolers and their parents came to the Virgina Air & Space Center in Hampton to learn about flight and space exploration. This HEAV-sponsored event included a special presentation by NASA astronaut Susan Kilrain. NASA scientists and space center volunteers also provided many hands-on stations for science experiments and physics projects.
During the day, I was not only invited to give a presentation at the Peninsula Museum Association’s meeting that was being held upstairs in the Air and Space Center, but the visiting museum representatives also got to see a museum packed with homeschoolers!
Share your thoughts and experiences from the day as a comment below! We’d welcome comments from homeschool students, too!

We brought a total of 9 children from 2 families. From the ages of 3-15. This was our first time to the VA Air and Space Center and we will be back!! It was a great day to get out of Richmond.

We really enjoyed this year’s Homeschool Open House at VASC. My kids were especially excited about meeting a real astronaut. we also loved all the presentations. Looking forward to more of this.
