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:
“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)
“Because of these convictions, I made a personal decision in the 1964 Presidential campaign to make education a fundamental issue and to put it high on the nation’s agenda. I proposed to act on my belief that regardless of a family’s financial condition, education should be available to every child in the United States—as much education as he could absorb.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“... education fails in so far as it does not stir in students a sharp awareness of their obligations to society and furnish at least a few guideposts pointing toward the implementation of these obligations.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
