Texas State University is providing a 1-hour webinar.

Join NASA to explore the First Woman graphic novel and lesson plans. The story tells the tale of Callie Rodriguez, the first woman to explore the Moon. While Callie is a fictional character, the first female astronaut and person of color will soon set foot on the Moon – a historic milestone and part of upcoming NASA missions. We will explore a series of graphic novels, digital platforms and technologies featured in the story. The discussion will focus on Culturally Responsive Engagement and Storytelling.
