Aug 8, 2017
Dear Friends, Educators,
and Explorers:
Intergalactic
Education proudly presents the Falcon landing mini game! Try a small part of
Space World™ completely free right now in your own browser by visiting

out one of our more recent teasers (https://youtu.be/sYNDiFaoqBk).
Intergalactic
Education has been busy this summer expanding its outreach, developing Space
World™ further, and piloting the program. President Justin Park represented the
Space Generation Advisory Council at the Space Teach Expo in Los Angeles, CA in
May. He then pitched to a panel of judges at the Verizon Center in downtown
Washington, DC as part of the Spring Board Dolphin Tank in June. Mr. Park
attended the Future Space Leaders Conference in July where there was a Moon
Express mock-up and various congressmen. Intergalactic Education presented a
poster (https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=p.815308615294408&type=3#)
at the 2017 International Space Station Research and Development Conference to
cap off a busy summer of outreach. Also, as a follow-up to spring news, Mr. Park’s
Suffolk University TEDx presentation on the “Economics of the Future” was made
publicly available (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWrv2NPaP1U).
The Space World™
pilot program continues to be tested in more schools each quarter. The
Montgomery County Excel Beyond the Bell program brought Space World™ to another
one of its schools this summer. Students and educators at Argyle Middle School
in Silver Spring, MD had an opportunity to test the main algebra platform in
Space World™, the Falcon mini game linked at the start of the newsletter, and
other features in development. Student feedback so far has been outstanding, as
measured by students wishing they could take the educational game home and also
by students showing an interest in space and even programming.
Until next time
