🚀 From the International Space Station to the LJES Makers Space!🐳
Last week, students had the incredible opportunity to meet Ernest Smith, an aerospace engineer and innovator whose career has included work on NASA programs such as the International Space Station and the Space Shuttle Main Engine. Students learned how curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving can lead to amazing opportunities—even helping build technology used in space!
“Imagination, and the belief that you can do it, makes all things possible!”
A huge thank you to Mr. Smith for inspiring our young makers and to Ms. Mary Sue Lindsay for organizing this out-of-this-world experience!
