Welcome to SPOT
The Space Public Outreach Team (SPOT) provides
FREE presentations about
current NASA missions to Montana schools, youth programs, and community
groups. The office at Montana State University in Bozeman sends presenters to schools and communities across the
state.
This year there are two SPOT shows available:
Mission to Mars
explores the steps necessary to land a rover successfully on the surface of Mars and reasons for visiting Mars.
Astronauts and Aliens explores the Solar System and beyond in search of alien life forms. More information about
each show is available on our
Presentations page.
The interactive SPOT presentations utilize slides, videos, animations and an
inquisitive approach to relay the excitement of new discoveries in space
science. NASA research and careers here in Montana are highlighted in each
show. Presentations can be done in a classroom or assembly setting, as long
as a screen or blank wall and an electrical outlet are available. Each show
lasts approximately 45 minutes.
Participating teachers will receive lesson plans, activities, brochures and
other materials they can use in their classrooms.
