- Honoring Christa McAuliffe’s Legacy #ChristaMcAuliffeDay

- “I touch the future. I teach.” - Christa McAuliffe
In 1985, Christa McAuliffe made history as the first teacher selected to go to space as part of NASA’s Teacher in Space program. The program, which was designed in part to spark students’ interest in the STEM fields, would send McAuliffe into space on the Space Shuttle Challenger, where she would film demonstrations to later be used as educational materials in classrooms across the country.
Tragically, the Challenger broke apart shortly after takeoff, killing all seven crew members on board, including McAuliffe. The @ccsse, in partnership with @NASA, has worked to complete the lessons that McAuliffe planned, which include demonstrations on chromatography, effervescence, liquids in microgravity, and Newton’s law.
Educators can honor McAuliffe’s legacy and inspire the next generation of STEM leaders with Christa’s Lost Lessons: https://www.nasa.gov/stem-content/christa-mcauliffes-...
