Education
The Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center provides a range of educational programming. Their summer camp program, started in 1985, has expanded to include camps for elementary through adult. The main camp was known as The Future Astronaut Training Program. In 2011 their camp programs were re-branded as "Camp KAOS" (Kansas Adventures in Outer Space). The Cosmosphere also offers educational programs for elementary school field trips and customizable programs for groups of 10 or more adults.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“Law without education is a dead letter. With education the needed law follows without effort and, of course, with power to execute itself; indeed, it seems to execute itself.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Columbus stood in his age as the pioneer of progress and enlightenment. The system of universal education is in our age the most prominent and salutary feature of the spirit of enlightenment, and it is peculiarly appropriate that the schools be made by the people the center of the day’s demonstration. Let the national flag float over every schoolhouse in the country and the exercises be such as shall impress upon our youth the patriotic duties of American citizenship.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“There comes a time in every man’s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better for worse as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given him to till.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
