Now educators can experience the same astrogeology training as private astronauts! Join us Oct 26 to learn how you can share the wonder of planetary science with students. areslearning.com/astrogeolog… #astrogeology #spaceeducation #spacescience #STEM #spacephilosophy #overvieweffect

The on-site Astrogeology Exprience for Educators now includes a STEM Tour at Spaceport America... plus a lunch and tour at the Virgin Galactic facilities!* This spectacular profesional development experience prepares you to engage students with planetary science across the curriculum... and prepare them for the growing space economy. It's a great value for your time and PD dollars... with more details to come! areslearning.com/astrogeolog… #areslearning #astrogeology #spaceeconomy #spaceeducation #spacescience #spacephilosophy #overvieweffect *Launch schedule permitting... which it is expected to at this point.

The final guest speaker of the week was special... Katrina Carter-Journet shared @blueorigin's vision and her own career trajectory with the students in the MUREP Precollege Summer Institute (with @DavidJLockett in Tennessee). She shared fantastic life advice... and once again the students had great questions. I'm grateful I got to be a part of this series. Katrina's presentation also reminded me of this inspirational video from Blue Origin... a great piece to share with students as a discussion starter: youtube.com/watch?v=91KTUAXu… #spaceeducation #spacecareers #spaceeconomy #workforcedevelopment #stem #stemeducation #spacephilosophy #overvieweffect

On Wednesday @VSamson_DC from the @SWFoundation presented to students in the MUREP Precollege Summer Institute with @DavidJLockett in Tennessee. They are studying data science with a focus on satellites, and she shared the foundation's approach to peaceful and sustainable use of space, including data from their Global Counterspace Capabilities report from April 2023. You can access the report here: swfound.org/counterspace/ #spaceeducation #spacesituationalawareness #spacephilosophy #overvieweffect

Yesterday @nasaman58 shared several Geospacial Information Systems (GIS) with @DavidJLockett and his Tennessee students in the MUREP Precollege Summer Institute program. Kirby offered a taste of real-world planetary exploration using publicly available (and easy to navigate) data. Here he answers student questions while sharing a tour of Pluto in JMARS. After seeing his one-hour session with students I'm even more excited about his three-day training for teachers... on-site in New Mexico!

On the Human Space Program blog this week, @brookeofstars shares her moving experience of the Overview Effect while experiencing a Virgin Galactic flight profile in the human centrifuge at NASTAR: "As I enjoyed the simulated ride in space, the ship did an unexpected turn in the direction of the vastness of the universe. A bright orb of light against the blackness entered my vision. The Sun. Our star. Now I was seeing it without the Earth’s atmosphere. It was more apparent than ever; we are on a rock captured by this star’s gravity, just along for the ride." medium.com/@humanspaceprogra… #overvieweffect #spacephilosophy #spacesimulation #spaceeducation #spaceexploration

It's the final day to join the summer cohort of the Space Education Online Course! Join us to gain confidence engaging students through throuth their excitement about space! areslearning.com/course #spaceeducation #spaceeconomy #spacephilosophy #OverviewEffect #stemeducation

This is the Carrizozo Lava Flow in New Mexico as seen from NASA’s Landsat 7 satellite... which is a view that commercial astronauts launched from Spaceport America or Blue Origin's Launch Site One might see during their parabolic flights. Now educators (and enthusiasts) can learn all about these landforms, and how they are similar to landforms on other planets. Join @areslearning October 27-29 to learn from astrogeologist Dr. Kirby Runyon @nasaman58 - and have the confidence to tell students you've been there! areslearning.com/astrogeolog… #areslearning #spaceeducation #spacephilosophy #overvieweffect #astrogeology #spacescience #stemeducation

What an inspiring way to end the week... here's @Dylan Taylor writing about Space Education in @newsweek! newsweek.com/building-framew… #areslearning #spaceeducation #spaceeconomy #spacephilosophy #overvieweffect

Last week I attended the Space Port Area Conference for Educators (SPACE) at Kennedy Space Center (KSC), which I had never visited before — despite being a lifelong space enthusiast myself. Most of the event was hosted in a building literally called the Center for Space Education. I was thrilled with the whole week, and grateful for many of the extraordinary learning experiences I had. And I find myself wondering how these experiences might be replicated in schools around the world that are not near enough for a field trip to KSC. medium.com/@humanspaceprogra… #areslearning #spaceeducation #spacephilosophy #OverviewEffect

Increase student engagement and reduce teacher burnout! According to a 2022 study... 93% of students are excited about space! Set a new trajectory for a better year... join the summer cohort of space educators starting in July.
