The Next Frontier: University Liggett School Kindergarten Design Show

From the depths of the ocean to the far reaches of outer space, University Liggett School kindergarteners embarked on a year-long exploration of the world—and the vehicles that can take us beyond it.

Their journey began under the sea, where students built and tested model ships. They then explored land travel, followed by an in-depth look at flight, designing and learning about airplanes. Finally, their imaginations launched into space as they created rovers for missions to the Moon and Mars.

Guided by artists and industry experts, the students developed concept drawings of their space vehicles, which were brought to life through 3D models. An artist created detailed renderings based on the children’s designs, and AI technology helped visualize these rovers in action on extraterrestrial landscapes.

This playful and imaginative exhibition features the students’ final space rover designs—complete with original drawings and 3D-printed sculptures.
