Are you interested in bringing your class to NYCCSSE? Here's how you do it.
Several weeks before the mission
- Decide which Classroom Extension aligns best with what your class is learning. To find out more about the Classroom Extensions, click in the appropriate link: Elementary | Middle | High
- Register for the Classroom Extension by downloading a registration form (see the links to the right), emailing info@nyccsse.org, or calling 212-608-6164 x115.
- Schedule a pre-visit planning session. This planning session can occur at the Center or at your school.
Visits to the Space Center should be extensions of your classroom. To this end, we have designed experiences that are aligned with the New York City scope and sequence and New York State standards. In addition, we have developed pre- and post-visit activities to prepare students for the experience. In order to learn how to seamlessly incorporate class visits to the Space Center with your curriculum and make our unique facility a true extension of your classroom, teachers participate in pre-visit planning with faculty from the Center. This planning session can occur at the Center or at your school.
At least two weeks before the mission
