USO Hosts STEM Discussion - Space Force and Bill Nye

WPES fourth and fifth-grade students participated in a STEMtoSpace 2024 live virtual session featuring Major Victoria Garcia of Space Operations Command, Science Educator and CEO of the Planetary Society Bill Nye, and students from other DoDEA schools. This question-and-answer session offered rich discussions on innovative topics related to future STEM careers and the importance of the Space Force mission. Students practiced their speaking and listening ELA skills and took focused notes during the event. An epic highlight was Colonel Tyler Hauge addressing the students from the Space Station, sharing his perspective as a NASA astronaut!
