Do you want to learn more about their different features and behaviors?
Join the GLOBE (Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment) Mission Mosquito team and guest speaker Dr. Allison Parker, assistant professor in the Department of Biological Sciences and the Environmental Science Program at Northern Kentucky University, for an informative webinar. Dr. Parker will cover everything you need to know about these fascinating creatures and even show you how to create a different type of mosquito trap.
| | Audience: K-12 educators Event Date: Monday, June 12, at 7 p.m. EDT Astronauts are the heartbeat of NASA's Artemis missions. Their safety is of utmost importance to NASA and is the driving design requirement for the crew module that will transport them to the Moon. In this session, educators will learn strategies for implementing a hands-on activity that engages students in the engineering design process. The activity challenges students to use easily accessible materials to design and build a crew module that meets the requirement of keeping astronauts safe. The webinar will also showcase how the activity can be implemented in an informal or camp setting. | | More Ways to Get Involved | | Audience: Educators of grades K-8 Application Deadline: Tuesday, June 13 Workshop Dates: July 18-20 Are you looking for new STEM resources, toolkits, and classroom activities? Do you want to learn in-person with opportunities to network with other educators from across the country? Join NASA’s Next Gen STEM project for a hands-on learning workshop experience at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. Click here to learn more and apply. | | Audience: Leaders with a passion for open science and inclusive community building Application Deadline: Thursday, June 15 Introducing the NASA Space Apps Collective – a new global platform in its pilot year. Space Apps Collective will encourage the use of NASA’s free and open data to spark innovation and facilitate knowledge sharing. Space Apps Collective will host a series of educational workshops and networking opportunities for building connections and exchanging experiences. Join the Collective to take part in this inclusive community of visionary leaders. | | Audience: Formal and informal educators and other experts
The NASA Teams Engaging Affiliated Museums and Informal Institutions (TEAM II) management team is recruiting qualified peer reviewers external to NASA to review NASA TEAM II proposals. Please submit your qualifications via this data collection form. Although NASA cannot guarantee an invitation to review will result, we thank you for your consideration. Selected reviewers will be expected to disclose all conflicts of interest, including situations that may give the appearance of bias. | | Additional Resources to Explore | | Audience: STEM enthusiasts of all ages
Watch the new NASA Subject Matter Expert video featuring Dr. Gioia Massa to learn about growing plants on the International Space Station.
Check out new videos produced by students as part of the NASA Spotlite Land Detectives Challenge and view our Pre-Earth Day Celebration highlights.
Additional hands-on activities from eClips partners are included, with ways to keep learners engaged from 15 minutes to days. | | Audience: Middle school educators and students NASA’s Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) research will transform our communities by bringing the movement of people and goods off the ground, on demand, and into the sky using air taxis and drones. Learn about this exciting new mode of air transportation through this monthly video series and corresponding hands-on activities.
In the Flight Control Math Educator and Student Guides, students calculate the distance between points that a future air taxi could fly and use the speed formula to determine how long it would take to fly certain routes between points. Stay tuned for exciting activities to learn more about AAM each month. | | Opportunities With Our Partners | |
