Lab Out Loud's guest this week is Kris Brown from the Office of STEM Engagement at NASA. As a NASA engineer, Kris used to work with critical hardware used on numerous shuttle missions. Now, as Deputy Associate Administrator for NASA's Office of STEM Engagement, Kris works towards creating unique opportunities for students and the public to contribute to NASA’s work in exploration and discovery, and to building a diverse future STEM workforce by engaging students in authentic learning experiences with NASA’s people, content and facilities. Kris joins co-hosts Brian Bartel and Dale Basler to talk about these opportunities and resources, the importance of the upcoming partner launch with SpaceX on May 27, and shares specific activities NASA has to engage students and their families around that mission.
