Orbit Earth Expo launched in Georgia in 2012 and in the Carolinas in 2015. Based in Raleigh, NC, the program delivers content to elementary and middle schools all over NC, SC, and VA. Teachers and administrators love the alignment to Virginia Standards of Learning and the unforgettable reference for students. These hard to teach concepts in astronomy are a snap for students when they are recalling information for the VA SOLs after experiencing Orbit Earth Expo!

Orb, along with his Sun George and his appropriately scaled moon, travel to schools with their teacher friend Tracy Custer. Tracy is a lifelong resident of North Carolina, though she loves to travel. She was a NC Teaching Fellow at Elon College and earned her M-LIS degree from UNC-Greensboro. She has been a classroom teacher, school librarian, and technology guru over the course of her twenty plus years in public education. Sharing the magic of these STEM programs with tens of thousands of students each year is rewarding and fun!
