LEGO Education to bring NASA's Artemis I mission into classrooms

As NASA assembles the final parts for its return to the moon, LEGO is ready to launch into classrooms with a learning series themed around the space agency's Artemis I mission.

LEGO Education on Monday (June 21) announced "Build to Launch," a new digital learning series produced in collaboration with NASA. The free, 10-week program will lift off in September with interactive online episodes and hands-on lessons that are aligned with aspects of the upcoming Artemis I mission, including "Getting to Space," "Testing and Transport" and "Working in Space."

Build to launch: LEGO minifigures to fly on NASA Artemis I moon mission

NASA's first Artemis spacecraft to launch to the moon no longer lacks a crew, although the newly-selected "astronauts" won't be taking up much space on the mission.

LEGO Education has revealed that four minifigures will be aboard the Artemis I Orion spacecraft when it lifts off in 2022. The toys' flight is part of a collaboration with NASA on "Build to Launch: A STEAM Exploration Series," bringing the digital learning series to life in an effort to further engage students' interest in science, technology, engineering, the arts and mathematics.
