Astronaut Training Program: STEM and the Arts
As a team lead in the VCS International Space Station Research Program and Miss San Jose's Teen, Jasmine Wu wanted to spread her love for outer space research and STEM, and empower students to dream big. Dorsa Solimani, who is passionate about art and environmental science, wanted to pass on both her love for arts and crafts and the sciences. Together, they brought to life a series of Astronaut Training Workshops to pique students' curiosity in the field of STEM, fused with arts--blasting off with water bottle rockets, to designing astronaut helmets with paper mache, to experimenting with colorful chemical reactions.
