We Were Invited to NASA's Digital Learning Network Event -- Live Video Chat With The Martian Stars and NASA Experts

We are so excited! We found out that yesterday the Hixson 7th grade has been accepted as one of the schools to participate in NASA's Digital Learning Network Event -- Live Video Chat With The Martian Stars and NASA Experts.  We will be participating in this on October 1, 2015 as a grade level in the auditorium from 10:30 - 12:00.  

As NASA prepares for humans' first steps on Mars in the 2030s, it is important to understand what is fact verses fiction about living on Mars. On Thursday, Oct. 1, 2015, NASA's Kennedy Space Center will conduct a Journey to Mars Education Event called "So You Want to Be a Martian". A curated panel discussion with Bob Cabana; Kennedy Center Director, NASA's Planetary Science Director, a NASA astronaut, a NASA botanist and two stars from the movie The Martian will be hosted on NASA’s Digital Learning Network.

We will join their discussion by asking questions as interactive participants! A representative from NASA will moderate questions during the program.
