Challenge 1: Nimble Navigation

Mission: Time for a brain (and body) twisting game! Using your flexibility and agility, we want to see you navigate your way to the ISS on a course of hand and footprints. The goal is to go as fast as possible from the beginning to the end without any mistakes: at each row you must always touch the paper with either hands or feet that match the picture on the card.

Challenge 2: Cosmic Cartwheels

Mission: In microgravity, astronauts love to perform spectacular somersaults. Here on Earth it’s not so easy, but it certainly is fun! To practice your coordination and strength, you will perform a series of gymnastics moves: the original front roll, the backwards roll and finally the cartwheel. Film it, or snap a picture, and tag it on social media with #trainlikeanastronaut.
