Program Details

Format

Virtual:
1. This live program begins with a brief introduction to the topic and the organizations whose students have asked questions of astronauts.
2. Watch as live astronauts aboard the International Space Station answer student questions in real time!

Objectives

Participants will:
-Learn more about careers in the STEM/science world
-Ask questions and engage with current scientists in real-time
-Explore a new science content area (NASA, living in space, being astronauts)
-Be empowered to see how STEM relates to their own lives; practice thinking critically about the Nature of Science (NOS)
-See a broader representation for who can be a scientist (anyone and everyone!), dispelling inaccurate stereotypes about what a scientist "looks like"
