Wonderful News Wednesday is here! Our next highlighted presenter @DormannKate Topic: Launching Students to Success in STEM using Model Rocketry to strengthen their science, math, & STEM curriculums. "Blast off" into inspiration with this great session for your Ss! @NJAGCGifted

[KateDormann @DormannKate]

Thank you, @rvccngss, for another amazing training. I always leave your PDs in awe of the science around us and excited to implement everything we learned.
I cannot wait for @sacademy268 to rent a StarLab! Highly recommend this immersive experience for learners of any age.

@sacademy Ss are applying what they know about forces to create parachutes with a surface area that will cause their rockets to descend at a specific velocity.
They determined the side lengths based on SA and measured out their parachutes. @Heniep1 @Principal_KM @ops_district

[KateDormann @DormannKate]

Thank you, @AzarGNT & @theckidslab, for an absolutely phenomenal networking event. I left with so many new and exciting ideas 💡 💛 and thank you @Principal_KM and @Gerald_Fitzhugh for always supporting our growth in #gifted #ed @sacademy268

One of the greatest things I have ever witnessed 🤩

[NASA Wallops @NASAWallops]

Liftoff! 🚀 A sounding rocket launched at 5:30 a.m. EDT from Wallops carrying student experiments for the RockOn and RockSat-C student programs.

Did you see the rocket? Share your pictures below!

One of the greatest things I have ever witnessed 🤩

[NASA Wallops @NASAWallops]

This morning rocked! 🚀

A NASA Terrier-Improved Orion sounding rocket launched at 5:30 a.m. EDT on Thursday, June 20 from Wallops Island, VA, reaching an altitude of 117 km (70 miles). The rocket carried over 50 experiments built by students in the RockOn and RockSat-C programs.

@sacademy268 1st & 2nd graders learned about the different constellations in our night sky. After viewing each 🌠 in the Starlab, they created their own. Each constellation tells a story of their family & what is most important to them. Thanks @rvccngss for making this possible

[KateDormann @DormannKate]

Aurora and I got to meet one of our heroes last night. Thank you, @TheSpaceGal, for encouraging so many to keep exploring their curiosities. Aurora can't wait to have her own wonder lab someday, thanks to you. I couldn't ask for a better role model for all my little scientists.

[KateDormann @DormannKate]

Our little GIRL is here and healthy 💕 Welcome to the world, Luna.

[KateDormann @DormannKate]

Can't wait! Going to be out of this world 🌌🌠

[Wil van der Veen @rvccngss]

Exited and ready for our #Starlab Training today at @raritanvalleycc. 25 teachers will be learning how to bring the joy of #Starlab and astronomy into their classroom and encourage students to look up at the sky! @leadinsci @BridgetA007 @DormannKate

Coming up with Oobleck puns is almost as hard as saying non-newtonian fluid 3 times fast... but those @sacademy268 smiles are all that MATTER #gotone 😜 @Principal_KM

[KateDormann @DormannKate]

Hey @TheSpaceGal ! 1st graders at @sacademy268 in Orange, NJ were inspired by Emily's Wonder Lab Oobleck Pool 🤔 We have some very curious little scientists who want to keep exploring. Can you help us?

What happens to Oobleck in outerspace? Space🚀👨‍🚀 #staycuriouskeepexploring

@SuzeQToYou My mom wanted to be called Lolli and then have my dad called Pop but my daughter had other plans. I think it's so "sweet" though. 🍭
