Testimonials:
“The true value of exploration? Igniting a curiosity that fires the soul to learn, grow and improve our future. Zero Gravity captures this magic and shows how the SPHERES program inspired a world of children.” -Astronaut Jack Fischer
“I really would like to see this film be available for teachers to share this experience with their classes for years to come. The diversity of all the students was incredible, and I really enjoyed how they shared their life stories and families outside of the competition, so we as the audience can really get to know each one of them on a personal level.” Teacher Juror, Providence Childrens' Film Festival
"I had no idea what coding even was before watching. Now I want to try!" -Student, Age 11
“...I like that the film talked about the wonders of space without giving up on Earth. Helping heal our own planet was just as important as winning the competition.” -Student, Age 11
