March 15, 2019: Tom Drummond (Retired Public School Teacher). “Orion’s Quest Program: Authentic Research for Today’s Youth.”
Tom Drummond spoke about Orion’s Quest Program. This program pairs classes of public-school students with cutting edge researchers to help with data collection from experiments running on the International Space Station. For example, experiments in space often have paired control experiments running on the ground and students will do comparative counts from photographs and submit their findings to the researchers. Orion’s Quest is always looking for more partners and can be reached through their website: www.orionsquest.org
