School Visits

Let your students experience the wonders of the universe, from walking on the moon, to searching for life on Mars, to probing the mysteries of distant stars and galaxies.

Schedule a visit from acclaimed author and science journalist Andrew Chaikin. He has experience with all grade levels, from kindergarten to college.

“Andrew Chaikin somehow manages to combine the knowledge of a space engineer, the writing of a seasoned science journalist, and the speaking talents of a prized professor, to bring the past, present, and future of space exploration down to Earth. Nobody does it better.”

Comments from teachers at Merion Elementary School, Merion, Pennsylvania:

“Amazing, incredible, a natural teacher....”

“He talked to first graders at a level they could understand, and his presentation was appropriately elevated for the older students.”

“Our reading specialist commented that she had never seen the kids so excited about an author’s visit before!”

“Andy Chaikin is a walking history book of space exploration and space science. No one is more knowledgeable, more energetic, or has better pictures than Andy. His slides and wonderful personal stories kept 550 high school students listening to his every word.”
