In this Physical science-based episode, during a station emergency the crew help students learn about electricity, series and parallel circuits, the importance of conductors and insulators as well as the method used to measure the flow of electricity. (running time 20 minutes)
In this Math and STEM-based episode, the crew will help students learn about computers and the fundamental process of how a program is designed. Students will be introduced to the concept of algorithms which consists of instructional sequences, decision making, and command repetition. (running time 22 minutes)
This story, written and read by Rebecca Miller, introduces the concept of coding and algorithms to children. In this story, Aurora, the artificial intelligence system for Spacegate Station, meets a lost Robotic dog named chip. In order to help him find his way back to his charging station, Aurora explains how coding and algorithms work so he can use those directions to find his way home. (running time 4 minutes)
In this Engineering/STEM - based episode, the crew will help students learn about basic engineering design practices and people that are used to create structures such as houses. This lesson includes the reading of the children's book "If I Built a House" by Chris Van Dunsen. At the end of this lesson, using different materials provided by the instructor, the students will create their own dream home. (running time 18 minutes)

Written by Chris Van Dunsen, this video introduces Jack as he dreams up a whimsical fantasy where he builds the house of his dreams, complete with a racetrack, flying room, and gigantic slide. Jack's limitless creativity and infectious enthusiasm will inspire budding young inventors to imagine their own fantastical design . (running time 4 minutes)
In this Nature of Science episode the crew of Spacegate Station help students learn about the importance and the differences between the scientific method, used by scientists to perform experiments, and the engineering design process which used by engineers to solve problems and make new things. During this lesson, students also learn about what engineering is and the different types of engineers. (running time 17 minutes)
In this episode of Spacegate Station, students will learn about a FREE special program sponsored by the Blue Origin Club for the Future called Postcards to Space. Students create a postcard that is loaded into the crew capsule of Blue Origins New Shepard rocket which is launched into space. When the postcards are recovered, they are stamped "Flown to Space," and mailed back to the students to keep as their own space-flown keepsake. (running time 10 minutes)
