Mission Moon is a collaborative STEM initiative of the Iowa Space Grant Consortium, Iowa 4-H, and Collins Aerospace that connects youth with space exploration, engineering, and aerospace careers. This session highlights how university, youth development, and industry partners created a scalable Artemis-inspired experience for grades 4–8. Participants engage in hands-on activities including lunar site selection, rover and habitat design, water ice exploration, and mission presentations. Attendees will learn how public-private partnerships, STEM role models, educator training, and a train-the-trainer model expand access and strengthen STEM career pathways.
