2026 School Registration is leaving the Solar System
Area ISD's and schools wishing to schedule a Challenger mission, Micronaut mission, planetarium presentation or combinations of these should reach out to our center scheduler Lynn at sac-ScobeeCtr@alamo.edu to request information on availability, pricing, and to receive the registration materials. Scheduling does not take place over the phone without the completed registration document. Very few standard school day registration blocks remain in this school year.
Hearts on Mars Valentine's Mission
The "Hearts on Mars" couples mission and the Scobee Planetarium special event is fueling for launch!
The tickets have been closed and couple crew members have received an email with their mission roles. The Scobee crew is running their tests for an exceptional experience and we look forward to exploring Mars and the 9:30 Scobee Planetarium programs this Friday.
Artemis Academy Summer Camp
The 2026 Artemis Academy summer camp is partially sponsored by the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association: Alamo Chapter (AFCEA) with the intent of providing opportunities that inspire middle students to continue in their pursuits of STEM careers on which the future of Bexar County, Texas, and the United States will depend.
To participate in the three virtual After-School STEM club meetings in the spring and the camp the week of July 6-10, 2026, campers must "apply" to the program with a teacher's recommendation and the answers to application essay questions.
We are seeking additional sponsorships to off-set all camp registration fees. If an applicant is accepted, we will provide an update on the status of any fees at that time. Any fees assessed would be less than $100 for the entire program.
The application may be downloaded here.
Completed forms are to be returned to Mariana Zoll electronically at mzoll3@alamo.edu prior to March 1, 2026. USPS mailed forms must be received prior to this date.
