For Educators of grades K-4
Join Mr. Armstrong and his class of astro-not-yets as they explore energy and the engineering design process in this new short storybook. As the class awaits the landing of a Commercial Crew spacecraft, Mr. Armstrong challenges his students to create their own spacecraft landing system. Follow along as they use teamwork to complete this design challenge, and learn more about the Commercial Crew Program along the way. Challenge your students to do the “Eggstronaut Parachute Challenge,” where they will design and build parachutes to safely land an egg. Inspire your astro-not-yets with these and more great Next Gen STEM Commercial Crew Program resources.

We sifted through and pulled out the educator-specific professional development opportunities and digital learning and teaching tools aimed at educators to create this list for Texas educators. We will continue to update as we receive resources.
|
|
Our team has also gone through the massive lists of resources to try to compile an easy-to-use and more succinct version of recommended STEM resources for families. You're welcome to share this with the families you work with and your networks. We will continue to update as we receive resources.
