ISTE Highlights NASA STEM Resources for 50th Anniversary of Moon Landing
"Being able to build a NASA playground at the most important education innovation conference in the world while we celebrate the Apollo anniversary was an honor,” said Dr. C. Alex Young, director of NASA Space Science Education Consortium.
The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) highlights free NASA resources on the 50th anniversary of the moon landing.
For nearly a decade, ISTE has collaborated with NASA’s Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission, which provides educators with resources to engage students in ISTE Standards-ready research and engineering-design activities.
At ISTE19 in Philadelphia, nearly 20,000 members took part in a NASA Playground that featured the planetarium show “Apollo and Beyond: Conquering Gravity.” NASA personnel gave presentations and answered questions at six stations covering virtual and augmented reality, digital learning environments, digital fabrication and design (3D printing and 2D modeling), mobile sensors in smartphones, coding and electronics, and assistive technologies with Eclipse Soundscapes.
ISTE’s materials include NASA resources, ISTE’s NASA resource poster and a series of blog posts about NASA’s citizen science lessons. Educators can also connect with Apollo 50th Anniversary STEM content
