Lily was able to find the Indianapolis Children’s Museum website with little difficulty (here). However, she did not find Cosmic Quest in the children’s section. I thought I would help you locate the program – It is in the Educator’s section – Or can be found here.
I hope this is helpful to you.

Have you completed the Aviation merit badge? Do you know the difference between yawl and pitch?
I found a great interactive children’s game to help explain the difference between the two.
Take a few minutes and check out the Flight Adventures Game for students found at the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis. The game allows children to change the elevons and rudder on the FPG-9 to direct it to the target. The elevons and rudder control the pitch, yawl yaw and roll.
This website was recommended in the AHG Handbook for help with the Living and Working in Space Merit Badge.
