Be a part of our Jews in Space: Members of the Tribe in Orbit exhibit!
Calling all scholars! What would you bring with you to space? Why?
Astronauts living and working on the International Space Station can bring a Personal Preference Kit (PPK) into space with them. This Kit is used to carry their personal belongings. These Kits have size and weight restrictions – just like a suitcase you use for vacations. Imagine you are getting ready for a trip into space. What would you choose to bring with you?
Maybe something to entertain you – a favorite book, perhaps?
A favorite food or drink?
Maybe something that reminds you of your family?
Something to represent your culture?
Something to practice your religion?
But remember, space is limited so you can only choose 5 things to fit in your PPK.
Students are invited to create an artwork inspired by their choices!
Follow the directions at the link and submit student artwork to potentially be included in our upcoming special exhibit Jews in Space: Members of the Tribe in Orbit on display during the 2020-2021 school year!
