NASA EXPRESS -- Your STEM Connection for June 9, 2022

Astronauts Jessica Watkins and Bob Hines have a special message from the International Space Station for teachers and students on Earth. Click here to watch and find out how you can spot them in the sky near you this summer.
Audience: Satellite Engineers
Ages 8+
 
Test your engineering and multitasking skills with this fast-paced game from NASA Climate Kids. Learn about CubeSats – small, relatively low-cost cube-shaped spacecraft – and the standard parts that are used to create them. Then, dash around the NASA cleanroom to build as many as possible before time runs out.
Audience: Astronomy Enthusiasts Ages 10+
 
Go on an 8-bit adventure with NASA’s Roman Space Telescope to collect observations of galaxies, black holes, and more. Then, learn more about this next-generation observatory that will peer through dust and across vast stretches of space and time to help us solve some of the most profound mysteries in astrophysics.
