First Woman Camp Experience
This set of hands-on activities accompanies NASA’s “First Woman” graphic novel series, which tells the story of Callie Rodriguez, the first woman to explore the Moon. While Callie is a fictional character, the first female astronaut and person of color will soon set foot on the Moon. Intended for use in K–12 informal education settings such as after-school programs, summer camps, STEM nights, and weekend workshops, this First Woman Camp Experience Guide will bring the excitement of NASA’s scienc
Package Delivery Drone Simulation Coding Activity Guide
In this activity, students use Scratch, Snap!, or another programming language to create an interactive simulation of
a drone navigating around a geofenced area to deliver a package. The simulation engages students in computational
thinking, problem solving, and real-world application of mathematics.
Robotic Search and Rescue Challenge
Teams use a programmable robotic ball to design solutions and simulate an unmanned aerial vehicle entering a disaster zone. Set in a post-natural-disaster scenario, students will find solutions to problems that first responders may face.
This standards-aligned activity will help students explore challenges engineers face throughout different phases of NASA missions as they conduct research, propose solutions, create designs, build their designs and test their solutions to a set of given probl
The First Woman Graphic Novels and Interactive Experiences
First Woman tells the tale of Callie Rodriguez, the first woman to explore the Moon. While Callie is a fictional character, the first female astronaut and person of color will soon set foot on the Moon – a historic milestone and part of upcoming NASA Artemis missions. Through a series of graphic novels and digital platforms, First Woman aims to captivate audiences and inspire the next generation of explorers who will return to the Moon.
Unmanned Aircraft Systems Educator Guide
Four standards-aligned activities help students learn about unmanned aircraft systems in NASA’s Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate.
With these activities, students will:
Use the engineering design process to design and build a propeller that will generate enough thrust to drive a propeller car.
Investigate the impact of mass on the average speed of a propeller car.
Learn about the basics of programming while navigating a robotic ball through a maze without hitting any obstacles.
