Family fun was had by preschoolers at the launch of “Miles from Tomorrowland: Space Missions,” a nationwide STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) learning-focused program formed between Disney Junior and XPRIZE. The program is focused on children from ages 2-8 and their families to help them develop their own “out-of-this-world” creations for a chance to win prizes, including a trip to Kennedy Space Center to experience space exploration first hand.
The six-week online initiative inspired by Disney Junior’s animated “Miles From Tomorrowland,” 2015’s #1 series across preschool networks in Total Viewers, is designed to lay the building blocks for learning in critical STEAM-based areas.
