In short: This video captures an educational session where astronauts aboard the International Space Station discuss scientific research and daily life in orbit with students from a Dallas magnet school.

On April 26, NASA's Jeff Williams and ESA's Tim Peake held an in-flight session with learners from Dallas's School for the Talented and Gifted Magnet. This group was based at the Yvonne A. Ewell Townview Center. The discussion, which included Representative Eddie Bernice Johnson, explored the diverse scientific research being performed on the orbital laboratory.

The session highlights the intersection of space exploration and education, featuring Williams during his third long-duration mission on the station and Peake shortly before his scheduled return to Earth in June.
