St. Margaret Mary School launched its first NASA Astro Camp in mid-January as a Community Partner with NASA Education Specialists from Stennis Space Center. Lisa Ramirez was trained as our facilitator and will use her weekly K-7 class time to introduce NASA, past and present, and complete several grade appropriate design, engineering, rocketry and coding projects. Our Junior and Senior Coding and Robotics Teams will also be using the NASA Astro Camp resources and challenges. Our first project is the Mission Patch activity that requires all students to imagine their own mission and collaborate on their crew’s mission patch graphic design.

Lisa has also been working with Wendy Conarro on available STEM resources and mentoring opportunities through the Northshore STEM Coalition, attending events at Southeastern University and Northshore Technical Community College.
