Amy Medina has spent her life showing students that science isn’t just something you read about, it’s something you experience. As a teacher at Odyssey Academy, she’s led more than sixty student space experiments, some of which have even flown on Zero-G missions. But earlier this year, Amy took her passion for exploration to a whole new level when she became the first Puerto Rican woman astronaut to travel to space aboard Blue Origin’s NS-32 mission. In this episode, she shares what inspired her love for STEM growing up in Puerto Rico, how she overcame career obstacles, how she built a classroom where curiosity and innovation is at the center of everything, and how seeing Earth from above has reshaped her perspective as both an educator and explorer.
