If you look around you, there are circuit boards in so many products these days from your nightlight, to your TV remote, to your car, to your computer. But how are these circuit boards made and how are our children learning about them? Patchr is an awesome platform that easily teaches students how to plan […]
Explore Earth: Detecting Earthquakes...while in the Air? The most powerful U.S. earthquake in 50 years, an 8.2-magnitude tremor, recently occurred in Alaska. Typically, ground-based instruments provide data for both alerts and study of Earth's internal geology. But what if scientists could detect seismic activity while airborne? In this webinar, we'll explore a balloon-based technique that […]

A great professional development opportunity from NASA for Spanish-speaking people. Register here.
Earth's saltwater ecosystems maintain a delicate yet dynamic equilibrium that has provided humans with plentiful sources of fish, shrimp and more for millennia. Phytoplankton, "the grass of the sea," serve as the foundation of this bounty, providing nutrients and oxygen for larger marine organisms. In this webinar, we'll explore how coastal communities are utilizing NASA […]
NASA STEM: Robotics for K-12 Learners NASA employees will describe how robots are preparing the way for humans to live and work on the Moon and on Mars someday. They will also explain the importance of introducing students to robotics and engineering at a young age to build up and reinforce a strong STEM pipeline. […]
