Q&A with NASA Deputy Administrator and Astronaut Pam Melroy 

 Join us for an exciting and STEM-filled finale for Lights On Afterschool! 

The STEM Next Opportunity Fund, Million Girls Moonshot and NASA are collaborating with the Afterschool Alliance to provide opportunities for students to engage with scientists and engineers contributing to NASA’s missions. On Monday, Nov. 8, at 3 p.m. ET, join us for a live Q&A session with Pam Melroy – a former Air Force test pilot, astronaut, and NASA’s current deputy administrator! Melroy is second in command at NASA and one of only two women to command a space shuttle. As an astronaut, Melroy logged more than 38 days in space as part of missions to build the International Space Station.

Be sure to tune in as we celebrate Lights On Afterschool and National STEM Day with an exciting conversation about all things STEM and space exploration! Please note if you will have students participating.  

Programs will be able to submit questions for Col. Melroy before and during the event: if you have questions now, please use our question submission form! NASA has also provided a Rover activity to do with students before or after the event! 

To join the event, tune in at 3 p.m. ET on Monday, November 8 to the NASA STEM Youtube channel. If you cannot make the live event, a recording will be posted that you can watch with students.
