Connecting Globally with NASA

12-Oct-2020

Last year our Year 1 /2 students had the opportunity to share their learning with a Scientist/Geobiologist, from NASA.

Following their video link, the children then sent a video of their Mars Learning Showcase to Dr Darlene Lim, explaining their learning and thinking.

The children and staff have received a lovely letter of acknowledgment back from Dr Lim.

It was an absolute thrill for me to participate in such a thoughtful and impactful scholastic activity. The emphasis on nurturing curiosity, risk taking, and innovation at Grovedale Primary School was truly inspiring. The Learning Expo connected the children to not only the opportunity to explore science and engineering, but also to a community of scientists, engineers and explorers around the world who are taking on similar tasks in a variety of settings, such as at NASA. Thank you for the opportunity to experience such a creative and engaging program.
