Kids and Family Sleepover at NASA Kennedy Space Center

**Sold Out!** To join the waiting list, please email zp@zulmariepadin.com. Spots will be assigned in the order emails are received. While we can't guarantee availability, if a spot opens up or we secure additional tickets, you'll be the first to know! 🚀Embark on a Stellar Sleepover Adventure at NASA: Kennedy Space Center! Invite your friends and family. Open to Boys and Girls (ages 7 and up) Grab your spacesuits (okay, pajamas will do) and get ready to shoot for the stars. This isn't just any sleepover—it's your child's passport to the cosmos and a launchpad for their dreams! To sleep under the real Saturn V moon rocket (which is longer than 4 football fields!) is a night you will never forget and an amazing inmersive opportunity for kids to learn about science. 

🌠 Why is this night at NASA not to be missed? Miami's tech scene is booming, but there's a hitch—we're short on skilled talent to keep up with the growth. Plus, Girls and women are systematically tracked away from science and math, blocking their paths to professional STEM careers. 

👩‍🚀 Join the League of STEM Superheroes! Only 28% of the STEM force is female and and ONLY 3% of them are Latinas!  We know we can do better. Let's empower our kids, especially our daughters, to break through the statistics and aim high—literally. Our sleepover is more than just fun; it's a launchpad for empowerment in science, technology, engineering, and math. 

🌟At Latinas Power, we want to change that. The seeds of interest in STEM are planted early: research indicates that the elementary years are critical for igniting a passion for these subjects. Therefore, it's crucial to foster this curiosity from a young age. 

Let's get our Kids excited with science! 

🛰️ Here’s their chance to be an astronaut and go into space (almost)!
