📢 STEM Spotlight Series: Satellites and the Secrets of Planet Earth
Friday, May 22, 10:30 a.m. to noon
Join us for an exciting installment of our STEM Spotlight Series as we journey into the incredible world of NASA’s Earth‑observing satellites. From tracking melting ice and mapping forests to monitoring ocean health and measuring sea‑level rise, these satellites give us a front‑row seat to the dynamic planet we call home.
In this special session, we’re thrilled to welcome Brian Campbell, a NASA Earth Science Specialist and outreach lead, who brings Earth science to life with stories, visuals, and insights from real satellite missions. Brian will guide us through how NASA uses cutting‑edge technology — lasers, sensors, and orbiting observatories — to better understand our changing world and help communities prepare for the future.
Whether you’re a student, a space enthusiast, or simply curious about how satellites “see” Earth from hundreds of miles above, this program promises an inspiring look at the science that connects us all.
