Especially for Children and Families
Because many of the activities in the Bhutan program will take place for the first time ever in the United States, the 2008 Festival will offer families an especially rare opportunity to learn about one of the world's least known countries. Young visitors will be able to join Bhutanese participants in traditional dances, the thirteen traditional arts (zorig chusum), and festive games. In the NASA program's Kids' Space, young people will have the chance to interact directly with Festival participants through a variety of hands-on activities and learn more about NASA through the Mission Guide booklet.
