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. With encouragement from educators in the area, the decision was made to open a Wisconsin office in the fall of 2016.
We are excited for the teachers and students of Wisconsin 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.

Bonnie thinks so highly of the moon, stars, and planets, that she aligns her gardening, haircuts, dinner parties, and travel with the moon’s phase and sign. She can’t wait to introduce you to Orb! |
