General Description
EEP (Elementary Educational Program) is a program whereby Spacesim teaches elementary level students from across the city about space and space sciences. This program, run by our EEP commanders, reaches out to inform people within the area of the existance of spacesim, as well as providing income and educating young people about space and space sciences.
During EEPs, students from various elementary schools visit our facility where they spend either half, or a whole day visiting various "stations" and learning about space. These stations vary depending on the program chosen by the school, but all of them are fun, interactive, and educational.
Stations
The diverse elements of the EEP program will be detailed in this space shortly by the current EEP Commander.
The Educational Branch
EEPs, along with the Planatarium program, compose the educational branch of Spacesim. Spacesim typicaly charges $125 for a half-day or $175 for a full day.
Leadership
Every year, one or two Spacesim members take charge of the EEP program: its organisation, dissemination of information, recruitment of presenters, verification of presentation facts, and making sure no checks bounce (that was a bit of humour). The EEP Commanders occupy places of great importance, and it's thanks to their efforts that Spacesim continues to function.
