On Friday, May 17th, the UASEDS Microgravity team visited Lincoln Elementary School in Mesa, AZ to talk to all the 6th grade students as well as a 5th grade classroom.
The students got to learn all about current space problems their generation can solve in the future, and the benefits and opportunities that come with a STEM education.
Many students were surprised to learn that with the knowledge they currently have (such as area of a square/rectangle, volume, unit conversion, proportions) and with the knowledge they will continue to gain as they move on to middle school, they can already begin to solve problems:

By the end of the presentation, the students gained a greater interest in space exploration and development, and were left with the message to never stop learning, and that with STEM, the sky is never the limit.
