Simpsonville Elementary students received an out-of-this-world visit today from 2 NASA engineers! 🚀🌑
Alora (an SCPS alumni!) and Zac found some to get away from their jobs at the Artemis Control Center to talk with the Bobcats about NASA and the Artemis program. They shared what their jobs at NASA look like every day, and students got to ask plenty of questions about space travel and the careers they could get at NASA when they grow up! 🧑🔬
Thank you Alora and Zac for this AMAZING opportunity!
