NASA Shares Technology Lesson with Tabb High

Students in Mrs. Joyce Kuberek's classes at Tabb High School enjoyed a visit from NASA's Dr. Jerome Kegelman and Ms. Susan Cooper. The presentation expanded the student's understanding of what NASA actually does. There is more to NASA than space travel. Many of the technological advances NASA is responsible for are used in everyday consumer products like our radios and cell phones and even football equipment and tennis shoes. Dr. Kegelman also provided students with an insight into the varied employment opportunities at NASA. Turns out, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to work at NASA. There are many support positions, internships and externships available. Ms. Cooper modeled an actual space suit and demonstrated just how it's many components work together to keep astronauts safe and secure while in space.

The presentation was shared using Skype with fellow Tabb High Science teacher Mr. Erick Grube's and all the way to Tabb Middle School's Technology teacher Mr. Donald Todd's classes.
