Mission: RedCode — Valley View G/T Students Need Your Support!

Will You Help Us Make It Happen?

Valley View G/T students in Jonesboro, Arkansas have the opportunity to experience something extraordinary this summer — a five-day, expert-led space and technology camp, delivered right at their school. No travel. No barriers. Just an immersive, life-changing STEM experience. But we need your help to make it happen.

What is Mission: RedCode?

Mission: RedCode is a five-day immersive space and technology problem-based learning experience that challenges students to apply design thinking, STEM skills, and engineering principles to solve Mars-inspired mission challenges. Over 5 days (27 instructional hours) students work in collaborative teams, engage in mission planning, analyze real-world data, learn to use AI carefully as a supportive tool for analysis, and make evidence-based decisions under simulated constraints.

Over 5 days, students will:

• Practice prototyping solutions and iterating design as they write code and build rockets

• Practice effective scientific collaboration and communication and take on real astronaut simulations

• Ask questions of real experts in the space industry, and apply what they learn

• Gain insight into the technologies, systems, and interdisciplinary expertise that power the modern space workforce

• Apply what they've learned throughout the week to a group capstone project

Special guests from across the community will join on the final day of camp to judge the projects!

An Astronomical Event!

Commander Susan Kilrain, USN (Ret.) — former NASA Astronaut and Navy Test Pilot — will mentor the Valley View G/T students through two days of space, design, and engineering challenges this June during space camp!

We will also hold an inspiring community lecture event — open to everyone in the Jonesboro community — while Cmdr. Kilrain is here for space camp!

The evening will include handshakes and photos, as well as a special meet-n-greet with Cmdr. Kilrain, in addition to the lecture. This event is FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, but everyone who attends must reserve a seat. Watch the Valley View School District Facebook page for more information about this special event, to be released in April.
