My Story

Our education collaborators are working on programs to implement the app in STEM classrooms and clubs for kids and teens nationally and around the world to learn about how engineering shapes our every day lives. Kids and teens in these programs will be invited to connect with engineers through the app so they can meet and interact with professionals in their fields of interest. Please contact us to learn more about the program and how you can participate.

My typical day at work involves...

A systems engineer needs to know what everyone is doing, how every part of the spacecraft is supposed to work, and how it all fits together. They call it the big picture outlook.

This is My Story

I caught the space bug probably when I was around seven years old. I loved being outside and looking up at the stars and learning the names of the constellations. From being a kid, to finally be at a place that's doing cutting-edge exploration of the solar system, is kind of incredible. (Thanks to Design Squad Global for the video.)
