Plan Your Mission with Elio Morillo, Mars 2020 System Testbed Engineer What instruments would help you learn more about Mars and answer the questions you are curious about? In this session, kids consider what tools to include on a rover, […]
Can we hear, see or feel the sound? Participants will get an overview of the Senses of Sound NASA activity and explore several principles of sound. Take a look back at the history of X-Planes and NASA Aeronautical Research while also looking forward to the future of NASA Aeronautics Innovation. For decades NASA has been […]
NASA Educator Professional Development is presenting a free 60-minute webinar for K-12 educators. Participants will learn about how Technology drives exploration. Using the Beginning Engineering Science and Technology curriculum, participants will learn how to use the engineering design process to build and test a Drag Device. Participants will also learn about current research NASA is […]
This summer, NASA’s new planetary defense mission DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) begins its journey towards the near-Earth asteroid, Didymos, where it will attempt to alter the trajectory of the asteroid’s moon. Join us in an exploration of Earth’s history with asteroids, then take a glimpse into the future of planetary defense against possible threats […]
This webinar will go beyond academic rhetoric to dig into the day-to-day practice of reaching students. In its dedication to expanding diversity and inclusion, NASA offers a bevy of tools such as Spanish language resources, activities built on and highlighting various cultural foundations, and access to subject matter experts representative of the vast quilt of […]
The NASA Educator Professional Development Collaborative at Texas State University is providing a 1-hour webinar.

The third session in our multi-part series about the X-57 Maxwell. ****prior attendance not necessary**** Register here.
Explore how the physics of motion applies to aeronautics while engaging in STEM engineering design challenges. Amusement parks are one of the best places to feel firsthand what astronauts experience while in space. Learn how roller coasters and other rides help teach forces of motion and energy transformations (PE and KE). Calculate the average speed […]
Why I'm excited about this event: We're on a mission of our own—to get more youth voices on our radio program! So we've designed a series of kid-specific Zoom call-ins, where we'll give space for our young listeners to ask their questions directly to our amazing experts. This time, geologist and NASA scientist Katie Stack […]
“NASA STEM Stars” is a webchat series that connects students with subject matter experts to learn about STEM careers and ask questions about STEM topics. Next week, mechatronics engineer Tim Szwarc will discuss how NASA designed the rock drill and sampling devices being used by the Perseverance rover on Mars. Watch here! at 11 am on […]
