SUMMARY:Challenger Chat with National Institute of Aerospace
DESCRIPTION:Join Us for a Challenger Chat with the National Institute of Aerospace (NIA) on October 16 \nDate: October 16\nTime: 3:30-4:30 p.m. ET \nWe’re excited to invite you to a Challenger Chat featuring representatives from the National Institute of Aerospace (NIA). This engaging discussion will focus on the Spotlite Design Challenge\, a key initiative within NIA. Recently\, the Education Team and members at NIA collaborated to create 2 separate Spotlite Design Challenges related to our missions Observation Earth and Earth Odyssey. These activities can be used as post-mission content for all Centers in our network. \nThe NASA Spotlites Design Challenge is part of the Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Science (ROSES) grant from NASA. In this collaborative effort between NIA and Challenger Center\, students become content creators\, developing short videos to address and correct widely recognized science misconceptions. These student-produced videos\, created from script to screen in various educational settings\, undergo review and approval by NASA before being featured in the NASA eClips library. \nAbout the National Institute of Aerospace: NIA partners with NASA\, government agencies\, universities\, and industry to advance research and technology in space exploration\, aeronautics\, and science. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to learn more about this innovative project and how these challenges can be utilized as post-mission content alongside our newest missions! \nZoom URL: https://challenger-org.zoom.us/j/83724423350?pwd=LbSvZpqkCHPxe0JZjy2f39GVw9VI8t.1\nMeeting ID: 837 2442 3350\nPasscode: 222620
