Yesterday, the UASEDS Microgravity team visited Leslie Shepherd's 3rd grade class at Lincoln Elementary School in Mesa, AZ to talk about:
STEM
(Science, Technology, Engineering, Math)
Many of the students want to be veterinarians, doctors, and military engineers when they grow up, so they were very excited to learn more about the STEM fields.
A wide range of topics were discussed with the students including size of the universe, star life cycles, black holes, NASA derived technology, robotics, and the Mars rovers.
However, the students were particularly interested in the physics of space. Thus, star and planetary formation were heavily explored and discussed in great detail.
The 3rd graders had a great time and were left inspired to keep up with STEM education in their daily lives and to never stop wondering.
