I am a STEM teacher in a public high school. Call me a nerd, but space is the place. I am always trying to excite the student's imagination by discussing and relating projects to commercial space.
Neil DeGrasse Tyson believes that we NEED to explore space to save the economy and, basically the country. I believe this is true. NASA is a great organization, but I believe that the new, emerging private space inustry has the potential to advance society by leaps and bounds. Everything from advanced robotics to genetic engineering would benefit from the private space industry. Computer technology and nanotechnology would be in high demand.
So I feel it is my job to inspire students. I have participate in 2 Teachers In Space workshops, I am the Advisor for our school rocket club, and I write lessons and units on space exploration.
I have one unit that I recently wrote specifically designed for commercial space. I have yet to implement it in the classroom. I feel it stille needs some critiquing. If anyone is willing to look over my work, please feel free to contact me.
I am always looking for ideas and ways to create and implement activities and lessons...HMU
