Hi there. My name is Jessica Sain. I work in NASA's Office of STEM Engagement through the in-space agreement NASA's STEM pathway activities consortium for education through Oklahoma State University. And I'm here to talk to you guys today about some of the resources that we have in NASA's Office of STEM Engagement that educators and parents can use to supplement some of our upcoming launches with NASA's Commercial Crew Program. So like I said, I'm with NASA's Office of STEM Engagement. This is formerly known as NASA Education. Right now we have four themes that we are highlighting under what we call next generation STEM. So the first one being Commercial Crew Program. That's what I'm going to talk to you guys about today. We also have Moon to Mars where we are highlighting resources as we go forward to the Moon and on to Mars for students that are part of the Artemis generation as we get geared up for those launches. We also have small steps to giant leaps which is a theme that highlights the new experimental aircraft that is coming out and this one is centered around Langley Research Center. And then we also have STEM on station which I believe there's another virtual presentation that you guys can watch today or for the virtual conference that highlights what we are celebrating as the year of recognition which is 20 years of continuous human presence on the International Space Station which happens on November 2nd 2020. So what is the Commercial Crew Program just to give you guys a really quick rundown of what it is. We've been, NASA's been working with commercial companies Boeing and SpaceX to return human space light to US soil to and from the International Space Station. So we haven't been launching our NASA astronauts from America since 2011 which is when the space shuttle retired. And since then we've been launching our astronauts on the Soyuz vehicle with the help of our partners over at Rose Cosmos. So we're hoping to return that capability to US. Both Boeing and SpaceX which our commercial partners have completed blank tests without humans on board and then we are super excited because SpaceX will be helping us with our NASA SpaceX demonstration to mission that is coming up no earlier than mid to late May. We're going to have some resources that educators and parents can use to build on this excitement with their students and their kiddos as we watch our NASA astronauts launching from Cape Canaveral once again. There we go. We'll be fast. So virtual field trips in this video is not going to work and the volume would have been too out anyways but we have a series of, well actually it might work. We have a series of virtual field trips that students can take that are in complete 360 mode. So this allows you to really look around and immerse yourself in all aspects of commercial crew program. We have one video called Preparing to Launch America which is an overview of the program. We have one specifically for the crew dragon with SpaceX, one for the Boeing CST 100 starliner, train like an astronaut. You get to go inside the neutral buoyancy lab which is our infamous pool that we have for astronaut train for spacewalk. A new era of space flight which highlights the history behind human space flight and the launching from Kennedy Space Center which talks about different components of launch. So you can see here that it's a really cool opportunity. You don't have to have a VR headset to do this. You can just pull it up in your phone on YouTube and go into 360 mode or you can plug it into your VR headset which is really cool. And what I'm showing you right now is the highlight video. So this one just goes through all the different videos and does shortclothes of each of those. So we also have K-12 lesson plans. We have the Extra Nopt which is a parachute engineering design challenge. This one specifically has a commercial crew twist because the students have to go through a series of milestones and get them improved by the commercial crew teacher. And once they gain that approval they can then go into the next step of engineering. To find process there's a one for grades three through four so elementary focus and then there's one that's grades three or five through twelve which has a whole variety of different scaffolding opportunities for you to be able to meet the needs of your students across those broad ranges of grades, the broad range of grades. And this one has a really cool component where students can use live data from their egg drop to improve their different iterations for the final result which is when they're good at they get their final certification kind of similar to how our commercial companies are doing the commercial crew program. We also have Salmon and Strain which is where students are exploring how sound travels. There's two different versions of this activity for elementary school kiddos. There's a condensed 60 minute version where students are just rotating through centers to explore the different components and there's also a full inquiry based learning unit where students are going through different aspects of sound and how it's traveling with clarity and whatnot for a weekly long unit. And then we also had the crew orbital docking which is called our coding stem where students are using bot block based programming and scratch or snap to dock one of the spacecraft to the international docking adapter through that block based programming. There's a whole variety of constraints the teachers can can select from in the students programming so that they can meet their students. We also have printable resources so we have an A to Z activity book that students can use for the primary grade kiddos and then we also have the astronaut yet storybook that was just released and this is a free digital download that accompanies the sound and a string educator guide. It's a really cool book so I recommend checking that out. And then we have some digital resources as well so we have the rocket science ride station app. This is an app where students go through the different components of launching a rocket and we're building a rocket launching a rocket and then ultimately docking to the international space station and there's an educator guide to accompany that that has next generation science standards aligned activities that can go with this app. We also have digital badging through the educator professional development collaborative, APBC for both students and teachers and then coming soon we have our launch kit that will be released here in the next couple of weeks that will provide all sorts of resources and how to use them to get students and kiddos excited about watching the upcoming launch no earlier than mid to late May with with SpaceX as our NASA astronauts are launched to the space station from American soil once again. These are just different ways you can connect with us. We of course we have a stem on station website which there's tons of resources to connect students and kiddos to the International Space Station. We also have our CCP our commercial crew program next generation stem website that houses all of the resources I just went through except for the launch kit which is coming soon and then of course we have our broader NASA stem engagement website which has a super search engine to help you find exactly what kind of activity you're looking for. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out. You'll see jsc-stim one station at mails.nasa.gov that's our broader email inbox that we all have access to and then my personal work email which is jsc-stim.i.sane at nasa.gov. Like I said please don't hesitate to reach out and I am so appreciative that you joined my virtual presentation today.
