Through our presentation, we will share about Real World Explorations and what Oceans to Orbits has to offer both to educators and student while giving them hands on experiences and a first-hand look at the "orbits" exploration in our Ocean's to Orbits campaign. This campaign is closely aligned to NGSS Standards to benefit both educators and students. Through this course, we will focus on interpreting data, natural resources, design solutions and developing models for to generate data for iterative testing. Our goal is to help students develop a cohesive understanding of science by helping them experience connections across the 4 domains of Science: Physical Science, Life Science, Earth & Space Science, and Engineering Design through expedition, interactive activities, demonstrations, and instruction. We will also demonstrate to students how scientists investigate the natural world, while engineers design and build systems and how the 2 disciplines work together, leading to rewarding career paths. Whether students are interested in aerospace engineering, biomedical science, business, or communications our mission is to provide educators with the opportunity to introduce students to emerging developments and to gain real-world exposure to help students process their future post-secondary career paths in STEM.
