Education Specialist Next Gen STEM

Participates in 1 Session

Lynn Dotson is an education specialist at Kennedy Space Center. She has been working at Kennedy for 11 years. 

She is currently contracted through AETOS, and has been with the Astronauts Memorial Foundation, Oklahoma State, and Paragon as an education specialist. She was a part of the Development Team for SPACE (Space Port Area Conference for Educators) in 2018 and 2019.

Prior to my years at Kennedy, I was a K-12 classroom science teacher on the Space Coast for 8 years. In 2010, I was awarded Exemplary Science Teacher in Brevard County and was sent to SPACE CAMP for Educators in Huntsville, AL. That is where I caught the NASA BUG, and when an opportunity came up to work at Kennedy in the Educator Resource Center, I applied, and the rest is history!

I love working with teachers and students and inspiring the Next Generation of Explorers!  The best part of my job is working with so many dynamic and exciting people and helping with Kennedy Launches! 

I am a wife and a mother to a spunky 7 year old little girl that we LOVE to the Moon and Back!
