How NASA connects students to the frontiers of space exploration
In short: This video captures an interactive NASA Digital Learning Network broadcast where students engage directly with astronauts and mission controllers to explore the realities of life and work in orbit.
Through the Digital Learning Network, students from McWhirter Elementary School in Webster, Texas, connect with NASA Astronaut Nicole Stott and the International Space Station Flight Control Team. These broadcasts allow the next generation to ask questions about mission operations, STEM topics, and the mechanics of the Houston mission control center.
NASA also provides dedicated platforms like Space Place and NASA Kids' Club to engage learners from pre-K through grade 8. These resources use games, hands-on activities, and videos to teach space and Earth science, supporting national education standards in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
