Orbit Earth Expo launched in Wisconsin in 2017. Based in River Falls WI, and Chicago, IL, the program delivers content to elementary and middle schools all over the state. Teachers and administrators love the alignment to WMAS standards 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 Forward Exams after experiencing Orbit Earth Expo!
Orb, along with his sun, George, and his appropriately scaled moon, travel to schools with their teacher friends, Bri Cassellius and Rujanee Mahakanjana. Bri earned a bachelor’s degree in elementary education from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. She has over 12 years experience teaching in elementary and middle school classrooms, Title I, and English Language Learning in Kansas and Wisconsin. Rujanee is a producer and director known for her versatility, adaptability, and creative vision. Her diverse background spans architecture, design, fine art, music, teaching, technology, and science, providing her with a unique perspective in her teaching and in life. She holds a BFA in Interior Architecture and an MFA in Studio Art (with an emphasis on Sculpture, Installation, and Performance Art) from Northern Illinois University. Bri and Rujanee can’t wait to introduce you to Orb!
