NASA Astronauts Engage Missouri Students with STEM Q from Space
NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway are set to engage with students in Missouri through a live Earth-to-space call. The event, scheduled for April 30, will feature the astronauts answering prerecorded questions related to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) from aboard the International Space Station. This initiative, hosted by the University of Missouri Pre-Employment Transition Services, aims to inspire students from grades K-12 to pursue careers in STEM fields. The call will be streamed live on NASA's Learn With NASA YouTube channel, providing a unique educational opportunity for students and community members. This event is part of NASA's ongoing efforts to promote space exploration and education, leveraging the continuous human presence on the space station to foster interest in STEM.
