From the Smithsonian Science Education Center, BumperDucks is an educational physical science game that will help teach players about what happens when two objects collide and how mass impacts the acceleration of an object. FEATURES - Introduces players to concepts of Newton’s Three Laws of Motion - Players learn about what happens when two objects collide and how mass impacts acceleration by using rubber ducks and other fun objects - For use in the classroom or at home - Aligned to national science standards for middle school but great for players of any age - Audio and text interplay - Challenge levels allow players to predict how the duck will interact with objects - Players can collect duck costumes to customize their duck to encourage progress - Customized ducks can be printed or saved to device - Sandbox mode allows players to build their own levels to assess their knowledge or to just have fun

In 1998, NASA’s Launch Services Program (LSP) was established to support NASA’s science and robotic missions by procuring commercial launch vehicles. The program was established at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center to centralize technical and management support to spacecraft customers. LSP brings together people, procurement, engineering best practices, strategic planning, studies, and cutting-edge techniques—all instrumental components for the United States to have a dependable and secure Earth-to-Space bridge that is dedicated to launching all types of spacecraft. This game goes through the process of a spacecraft matching to a rocket, the integration of the spacecraft to the rocket and the engineering behind it, and its eventual launch into space and the correct orbit. The game consists of 8 mini games to educate the player on the process Features: • Buying a rocket • How to get where you want to go in space • Analyzing the rocket and spacecraft • How to clean a spacecraft • Putting together a rocket • Time to fuel up • Frequency • Staying on target The characters that the player can choose from are represented by animals that are found in the Cape Canaveral Wildlife Refuge which encompasses Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Space Force Base. • Tortoise • Manatee • Wild hog • Bobcat • Alligator • T- Rex (not found in the Cape Canaveral Wildlife Refuge)
