Educators in Grades K-12
 
 
The NASA Educator Professional Development Collaborative at
Texas State University is providing a 1-hour webinar.
 
Take a look back at the history of X-Planes and NASA Aeronautical Research while also looking forward to the future of NASA Aeronautics Innovation. Explore NASA STEM engagement activities that guides students in a series of hands on demonstrations that illustrate several principles of sound, motion, forces, and interactions of energy and matter in its relation to aircraft design. Learn how the Engineering Design Process is like the process that NASA engineers use when designing new aircraft. Discover sonic booms and the Future of Commercial Supersonic Flight.
 
Attendees come away with instructional PowerPoints, videos, and links to even more standards aligned resources ready to use in the classroom or at home. The session will end with sharing exciting NASA STEM resources and ways to inspire our next generation of innovators.
