NASA

As part of the Jumpstarting STEM Pilot, this webinar is to help support frontline staff in their implementation of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathmatics) curriculum. For the Nasa webinar, we were able to have several guest speakers: Leslie Lowes and Maura Brown from Nasa Jet Propulsion Labs (JPL) were able to give some background information about curriculum, discuss some success stories, common challenges, tips to address those challenges as well as providing several additional resources for site staff to utilize. Next, we had Hannah Ehrig and Lorenzo Cipani from the after school program Pro Youth Heart located in Vasalia, CA. Hannah and Lorenzo spoke about how their program is currently implementing the Nasa curriculum while addressing challenges they have exprienced and how they overcame those challenges.
