I created and launched www.spaceclass.org, a pioneering educational website designed to make space science engaging and accessible for students in grades 5-12. This project, supported by funding from NASA and Lockheed Martin, featured a rich array of online lessons, including video segments with astronauts and experts like Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson, and interactive virtual labs.

However, my program's presence in kiosks at Space Center Houston has significantly extended its reach and impact. Show less
