Orbit Earth Expo launched in Georgia in 2013. The program grew to include South Carolina in 2015. Teachers and administrators love the alignment to SC College & Career Ready Standards for Science and the unforgettable reference for students. These hard to teach concepts in earth and space science are a snap for students when they are recalling information for SC Ready testing after experiencing Orbit Earth Expo!

Orb, along with his Sun, George, and his appropriately scaled moon, travel to schools with their teacher friend Laura Dragonetti. Laura is originally from Connecticut, but now lives in the Sandhills region of North Carolina. After earning a bachelor’s degree in 2012, she spent 10 years working in the field of education before earning a Master’s in Elementary Education in 2022. She has taught every age from preschool through college, and a multitude of different subjects. Laura loves learning and is excited to bring her enthusiasm to schools throughout North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virgina.
