NASA Leading the Way: Educating, Experimenting and Exploring
Upon hearing NASA, the acronym for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, most people immediately think of the International Space Station (ISS), astronauts and probably Tom Hanks’ role in the movie “Apollo 13.” While those are all fair interpretations, it is important to understand that NASA is so much more than rockets and movie sets. In addition to space exploration and research, one of NASA’s main points of interest is education, and the organization offers educational opportunities that begin with children in grade school and continue through high school and college.
