Long Beach Middle School is hosting the event for students in grades 6 through 8 with the goal of bridging gaps in space sciences and promoting teaching and learning in classrooms. Similarly, Vermilion High School is hosting the event for students in grades 9 through 12 to increase interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics career pathways.

For over two decades, astronauts have been living and working aboard the International Space Station conducting research and testing technologies that benefit people on Earth. They communicate with NASA's Mission Control Center in Houston through SCaN's Near Space Network around the clock.

The research and technology investigations taking place aboard the space station not only benefit people on Earth but also lay the foundation for future missions. As part of NASA's Artemis campaign, which aims to send astronauts back to the Moon to prepare for future human exploration of Mars, these events will inspire the next generation of explorers and ensure the United States remains a leader in space exploration and discovery.
