Launching Nebraska-nauts into the 4-C'able Future

Nebraska 4-H is proud to host Launching Nebraska-nauts, an in-flight educational downlink connecting students across Nebraska to astronauts aboard the International Space Station. Through this once-in-a-lifetime experience, educators and students across Nebraska will have the opportunity to interact with astronauts through a question-and-answer session. An in-person experience will be hosted at Raising Nebraska in Grand Island on Wednesday, October 13, 2021 including learning opportunities, guest speakers, and exhibits for participants to interact with! Satellite sites will also be selected across the state, where students and educators may also join in person. Students are also invited to submit questions to be considered for the downlink session. Students of all ages and classes of all grade levels are invited to participate. Educators are encouraged to utilize the pre- and post-event lessons and activities with students who will be engaged in the in-flight downlink experience.
