The arrival of the Blue Origin space capsule came via ferry, and then transported to Dennis P. Alley (Waban) Park in Oak Bluffs.

Dr. Bernard Harris helped to bring a complex astronaut experience and the wonders of space exploration to the Vineyard at From STEM to the Stars, a two-day STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) education experience.

The event is hosted by the National Math and Science Initiative (NMSI), Blue Origin, NASA and Raytheon Technologies, the event will feature a panel of several former and current astronauts, an interactive space capsule and many STEM-related children’s activities. It will be held at Alley Waban Park in Oak Bluffs on Aug. 4 and 5 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
