Due to a family emergency, we are reposting one of our most popular 2021 episodes. Please enjoy this rebroadcast and we'll look forward to resuming our current episodes next week. Quick! Who was your favorite teacher in high school? If you ask middle-school students in Milton, Georgia, a lot of them might answer, "Mr. Jones". That's because Steve Jones, The Space Teacher, is all about learning by exploring and experimenting. Steve, who teaches STEAM at Hopewell Middle School in Milton, Georgia, is a lifelong space-science enthusiast.  He is both a NASA Solar System Ambassador and freelance Principal Investigator for experiential STEM learning organization Magnitude.io. And if you try something and fail--that's fantastic. In this March, 2021 nterview with Steve, he discussed his passion for space and space science, the ways he incorporates those into his classes to capture students' interest, and some of his favorite educational resources. On this edition of Over Coffee®, we cover: How the space program first sparked Steve's imagination; Why Steve (who originally didn't care much for math!) came to incorporate it into his passion for science; The best creative challenge that faced Steve, in interesting non-science-oriented students in science; How Steve's unusual perspective on failure in his classes encourages students in engineering; One of Steve's favorite STEAM lessons from the NASA JPL Solar System Ambassador program; A new experiment which the students are doing in cooperation with NASA and Miami's Fairchild Botanical Garden; How Steve gave the students ownership of their own creativity on this particular project; What first started Steve off as a STEAM teacher, when beginning his career in education; The work of Magnitude.io and how Steve first became involved in the program; How Steve's seventh-grade class began research with Magnitude.io's ExoLab 6 experiment; How to get involved in the Magnitude.io program, if you are an educator; One “failure” that led to better research in Steve's science class; Some additional educational resources, including Zooniverse, which relates science to various arts and humanities topics among its citizen science exploration.

Tim spoke about infusing new technologies into his artwork as well as his teaching. He talked about how he's always worked in a variety of media and how teaching really contributes to this tendency as he teaches everything from painting to photography to design, weaving in Augmented Reality (AR). He also shared a bit about writing STEAM Power and speaking with scientists who affirmed the need for art to be included when talking about STEM in education - art is not simply an addition, tacked onto STEM, but a critical part of the processes and systems used in real world scenarios. Tim also talked about breaking into the art world and working outside it. He works as an artist and with his students to engage his local community and use art as a communication tool. His advice around working in a conservative community and bringing up issues of equity and empathy was so helpful. Being able and willing as an educator to share your vulnerabilities and truly be yourself can make such a difference. Tim Needles is an artist, educator and author of STEAM Power: Infusing Art Into Your STEM Curriculum. He teaches art/media at Smithtown School District, is a TEDx Talk speaker, and his work has been featured on NPR, in the New York Times, Columbus Museum of Art, Norman Rockwell Museum, Alexandria Museum of Art, Katonah Museum of Art, and Cape Cod Museum of Art. He's the recipient of ISTE's Technology in Action Award and Creativity Award, NAEA's Eastern Region Art Educator Award & AET Outstanding Teaching Award, and The Rauschenberg Power of Art Award. He's a National Geographic Certified Teacher, PBS Digital Innovator, a NASA Solar System Ambassador, an ISTE Arts & Technology and STEM PLN leader, NAEA ArtEdTech interest Group leader, and Adobe Creative Educator and Education Leader Emeritus.

Joe Khalaf is a technology strategist working for a Silicon Valley technology company but based in Houston. When he's not busy trying to figure out what the "next great thing" is from a tech perspective, he is also the president of the Houston Astronomical Society - one of the largest and most active astronomy clubs in the united states with over 850 members. Prior to becoming the president of the Houston Astronomical Society, Joe was the Outreach Chairperson for the club, organizing and hosting hundreds of astronomy outreach events for people in the greater Houston area for over 4 years. These events ranged anywhere from talks for preschool classrooms to doing outreach at large electronic dance music festivals with over 60,000 people in attendance. Last year, Joe became a NASA Solar System Ambassador, which allows him to share the stores of NASA's exploration and accomplishments widely. But what joe is most proud of is that he was the recipient of the 2017 Omega Centauri Award, given at the Texas Star Party for his efforts in astronomy education and outreach. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/spaceexplr/support

On this installment of our special series, the Media Mavens meet up Christopher M. Mick, the Nasa Solar System Ambassador. Holding a lifelong love for space travel and unraveling the many mysteries of space, Christopher M. Mick’s interest dates all the way back to his own childhood from experiences like space camp and winning science fair competitions. One of Mick’s current projects involves NASA’s delve into exploration projects, including the Perseverance rover, a car-sized Mars rover designed to help bring the next step of space travel. With the Mavens team, Mick discusses the Perseverance’s features, growing accessibility to space travel, and the work of getting the younger generation interested in this vital part of humanity’s future. “The robotic missions are great, but I think they get much more interested when there’s astronauts involved, and there's people they can talk to…that really connects to the kids,” Mick explained. Tune in this week to learn about “Life Beyond the Solar System” and how NASA is helping us reach the future!

Have you ever done a science experiment? "Sure," is the most likely response, from anyone, to that question. But if we were to define "experiment" as Steve Jones, "The Space Teacher" does, the answer would be "no".   Steve, who teaches STEAM at Hopewell Middle School in Milton, Georgia, is a lifelong space-science enthusiast.  He is both a NASA Solar System Ambassador and freelance Principal Investigator for experiential STEM learning organization Magnitude.io. What that translates to, in his science-enrichment classes, is a lot of discovery.  As students research, no one is sure what they'll find.  Even Steve can't tell them what the final result will be.  Because, as he says, in real science, "We don't know what's going to happen at the end.  And that's the exciting thing." In February, Steve and his class saw an experiment culminate in a space launch.  Through Magnitude.io, their class was among the ones researching new crops that might grow well in microgravity.   Magnitude.io sent the selected crop to the International Space Station, in its ExoLab-8 experiment. And today, that crop is the first-ever red clover to be cultivated aboard the ISS. But what's even more exciting?  Steve's students can monitor its progress in real time, as they grow their own red-clover crop in the classroom, under conditions that simulate the ISS environment. On this edition of Over Coffee®, we cover: How the space program first sparked Steve's imagination; Why Steve (who originally didn't care much for math!) came to incorporate it into his passion for science; The best creative challenge that faced Steve, in interesting non-science-oriented students in science; How Steve's unusual perspective on failure in his classes encourages students in engineering; One of Steve's favorite STEAM lessons from the NASA JPL Solar System Ambassador program; A new experiment which the students are doing in cooperation with NASA and Miami's Fairchild Botanical Garden; How Steve gave the students ownership of their own creativity on this particular project; What first started Steve off as a STEAM teacher, when beginning his career in education; The work of Magnitude.io and how Steve first became involved in the program; How Steve's seventh-grade class began research with Magnitude.io's ExoLab 6 experiment; How to get involved in the Magnitude.io program, if you are an educator; One "failure" that led to better research in Steve's science class; Some additional educational resources, including Zooniverse, which relates science to various arts and humanities topics among its citizen science exploration.

Please enjoy Episode 31 of the A Play On Nerds podcast, where PhD candidate from the University of New Hampshire, Ian Cohen (full bio and experience below), schools Steve and Jarman with finally some correct information about the science of space. If you listened to our episode a few weeks back all about space, man did we get a lot wrong. Ian is here to help us out and better inform you, the listener too! He'll cover many misconceptions about dark matter, the difference between meteors, comets, and asteroids, and so much more. Ian Cohen is a Physics PhD candidate at the University of New Hampshire. He received his B.A. in Astronomy & Physics from Boston University and worked for three years at the Charles Hayden Planetarium at the Museum of Science in Boston. At UNH, he builds instruments that are launched on rockets to study the aurora and manages the UNH Observatory. He is also a NASA Student Ambassador, NASA Solar System Ambassador, and member of the Aurorasaurus Scientist Network. By far his most important credential is that he received the “Right Stuff Award” when he attended U.S. Space Camp in 1998. When he's not needing out about space, Star Wars, U.S. history, or video games, he also writes for his blog “At the Center of It All”, which aims to explain the science and societal impact of the field of heliophysics. We also cover some science-y Nerdy News involving black holes and drunk birds (yes, drunk birds) as well as some Trailer Reviews, where we cover Heart in the Sea, Predestination, and White God... definitely worth checking them out, for various reasons.
