The NASA Educator Professional Development Collaborative at
Texas State University is providing a 1-hour webinar.

Astronauts face a lot of new challenges when they travel on deep space missions, and one of those challenges is figuring out a habitat that is adaptable to the environment and self-sustainable to keep astronauts healthy.

In this session we will explore NASA's Artemis Missions to the Moon and Mars and learn about the challenges that make spaceflight dangerous. Come and join this online professional development session as we explore "Hazards to Deep Space Astronauts" and discover hands-on/minds-on NASA STEM resources for students to really engage them.

Attendees come away with instructional PowerPoints, videos, and links to even more standards aligned resources ready to use in the classroom or at home.
