Space STEM Live! Frontiers of Flight Museum
About Educational Resource
Space STEM live! is an exciting, interactive, and educational event for visitors to participate in a variety of NASA’s Universe of Learning activities. Using everyday supplies mixed with a few event-specific materials, educators and volunteers are able to interact with participants for hours leading up to a special speaker who shared their own exciting scientific discoveries.
This Program Model was developed and authored by Frontiers of Flight Museum, with minimal editorial input and review from NASA's Universe of Learning. NASA's Universe of Learning has contributed astrophysics content and subject matter expertise to support the creation of this material.
Other organizations may adapt these materials to meet the needs of their specific audiences. While this Program Model was designed to serve the local audience of the authoring institution, it is shared here as an example for broader use. Users should adjust it as needed and use all or some of the content, as appropriate, for their own needs.
