Hello! The Goddard Visitor Center team is excited to share that we will continue to offer free virtual STEM enrichment opportunities for K-12 students and adults throughout the summer! Our staff has designed three free virtual field trips: ● *Living and Working in Space, Kindergarten – 4th Grade* People are living and working in space right now! Participants will discover many of the different ways that scientists, engineers and astronauts have developed to help humans live in space. They will also learn about the parts of an astronaut’s spacesuit and then look at actual food items sent to the International Space Station. ● *How to Build a Satellite, 4th – 8th Grade* Building a satellite takes many steps, requires help from a team, and needs creativity and innovation to make things work. Participants will explore the engineering design process and how scientists and engineers at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center use it to solve problems. They will also talk about tools and components of a satellite with demonstrations focusing on infrared light. ● *Goddard Overview, 9th Grade – Adult* With facilities in Maryland, Virginia, New Mexico, Texas, New York and West Virginia, Goddard is a place where a mission can go from start to finish: from planning to building to testing and even launching. Goddard is also involved in nearly every NASA science mission involving Earth science, planetary science, heliophysics (the study of the Sun and our local space environment), and astrophysics. Participants will receive an overview presentation focused on current missions. This program is lecture-style with a question-and-answer session and additional self-guided resources. The first two programs listed have three parts: a series of short videos, a live interactive presentation with a question-and-answer session, and optional self-guided activities using common supplies already on hand at home or at summer program locations. The Goddard Overview is lecture-style with a question-and-answer session, as well as additional self-guided resources. Interactive presentations are taught live by an informal education specialist and are approximately 45 minutes in length. Custom programs may be offered based on availability.
