Students in New Jersey will have the opportunity to interact with NASA astronauts Chris Williams and Jessica Meir, who will answer prerecorded questions about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) from the International Space Station (ISS). This initiative aims to foster young people's interest in STEM disciplines and bring the space experience closer to the educational field.
The Earth-to-space call is scheduled to begin on Thursday, June 18, at 12:05 p.m. EDT. The event will be streamed live on the agency's "Learn With NASA" YouTube channel, allowing a wider audience to follow the astronauts' responses. These types of activities are part of NASA's ongoing efforts in outreach and education.
