The Georgia office of SparkPoint Innovations opened in October of 2012 when The Big Canyon Balloon was introduced to the Southeast region for the first time. One year later, Orbit Earth Expo debuted in Georgia and has been a big hit ever since. In 2015, we expanded to North and South Carolina. In the fall of 2017, our Carolinas office expanded to include the state of Virginia.
We are excited for the teachers and students of Virginia to enjoy Orbit Earth Expo and experience our standards-aligned, grade level specific programs!
Students journey into space to create and experience the cycles, systems and relationships between the earth, moon and sun using our huge, inflatable Earth model and scale-sized moon. While interacting with the inflatable representations in a darkened gymnasium with a light to represent the sun, students manipulate the models to experience eclipses, seasonal/lunar cycles, creation of winds, day/night cycles, tides, rotation vs revolution, physical characteristics of the earth, moon and sun, gravity, order of the planets, seasons and more! The Orbit Earth Expo Program correlates to the state and grade level science objectives. There are different age-appropriate programs for each grade level.
