Join the Space Foundation Discovery Center for their Audience with an Astronaut program!
This program will feature a variety of different astronauts throughout the school year. Each session will include an inspiring interview with the astronaut, live polls for student engagement, and a STEM hands-on activity with downloadable activity lesson plans.
Featured Astronaut – Retired USAF Col. Eileen Collins
Future of Solar Weather – Total Solar Eclipse & STEM Careers
Students will learn all about space weather – what it is, how it’s formed, and how it impacts life here on Earth, such as in the form of nothern lights and especially eclipses. We will focus on how to best engage with the upcoming total eclipse in April. They’ll also dive into ideas for current and future STEM careers we will need to better protect ourselves from solar weather and engage with the resulting phenomenon.
