L'SPACE Education for the Next Generation
Do you remember the first time you looked up at the night sky after learning that those tiny twinkling lights were actually giant glowing spheres of hot gas? What was going through your young mind when you learned that other planets existed, so far away from Earth that we could only wonder through the eye of a telescope what they were like? It’s the youthful bewilderment of moments like these, the ceaseless curiosity instilled in us as students, that eventually inspires a new generation to explore the great unknown.
Preparing students who are interested in pursuing careers in the Space Industry is the goal of NASA’S L’SPACE Academy. It’s an interactive online program for undergraduate students in STEM majors who are gearing up for careers with NASA or other space-focused agencies. Each 12- Week program provides insight and hands-on learning, and even offers opportunities for students to collaborate, in real time, with industry professionals.
Sheri Klug Boonstra is Principal Investigator of NASA's L'SPACE Program. She grew up in the 1960’s, a time when space age dreams were finally being realized. From her home in the Mojave Desert, she spent youthful nights gazing at stars, wondering “why?”, “what?”, and “who?”. The world was intent on discovering the mysteries of the cosmos, and a combination of luck and curiosity put her in the right place at the right time to be a part of the fold.
