How NASA Flight Controllers Connect With Students to Explain Life in Orbit
In short: NASA flight controller Richard Garodnick explains the realities of mission control and life aboard the International Space Station. This interactive session, part of the Digital Learning Network, bridges the gap between complex space operations and students eager to learn about STEM careers.
In a 2012 broadcast for the STEM Excelleration Experience Program in Houston, Texas, Richard Garodnick engaged with students in grades 6 through 9. These sessions are designed to demystify the daily work of the International Space Station Flight Control Team, providing direct access to the professionals managing live mission operations.
The Digital Learning Network serves as a platform for students across the country to interact with astronauts, scientists, and flight controllers. By addressing questions about the mechanics of the Houston mission control center and the practicalities of living in space, these broadcasts aim to foster interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
