A group of enthusiastic high school students recently visited NASA to find out about the features and abilities that enable agency researchers to find, innovate and motivate for the benefit of humanity.
Students of the Engineering Club students of Pamdale High School in California were able to connect class lessons with real -world applications, which used to increase curiosity and ambitions at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California. “I have learned a lot about various careers that you can get in a place like NASA,” said the student Roberto Sicnero.
Through partnership with the regional STEM community, NASA’s STEM engagement provides local students to local students with alignment opportunities with NASA missions. “Many students do not have the opportunity to encourage STEM career to pursue. A part of our NASA mission is that encouraging, “said Randy Thompson, Deputy Director of NASA Armstrong Research and Engineering.
Highlights from travel included performance in a mission control room, subscale flight research laboratory, flight loads laboratory and experimental fabrication shop, supporting all high-risk, atmospheric flight research and testing projects. Students ask questions about the work done by laboratory technicians, engineers and program managers. “It was fun to see what valuable people in NASA do with all resources,” said the student Jonathan Peitz.
STEM engagement of NASA’s California office hosted the journey in the celebration of National Aviation History Month. By supporting students, teachers, and expanding STEM participation, NASA aims to motivate future leaders and build a diverse, skilled workforce.
