NASA astronauts aboard the International Space Station will speak to students from St. Mark’s Episcopal School in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

The Earth-to-space call will air live at 10:10 a.m. EDT Thursday, May 25, on NASA Television, the NASA app, and the agency’s website.

NASA astronauts Steve Bowen, Woody Hoburg, and Frank Rubio will answer prerecorded questions from pre-K and second through eighth grade students. The downlink is part of the school’s “Space Week” where students will participate in challenges related to space exploration. Through the downlink, students can look to NASA astronauts as an example of how to best be stewards of our planet and beyond. The school’s “Space Week” activity lesson plans will be shared with other community schools through the Cox Science Center and Aquarium website.

Media interested in covering the event should respond no later than 5 p.m. on Wednesday, May 24, by contacting Naki Carter at: [email protected] or 313-283-1427.

For more than 22 years, astronauts have continuously lived and worked aboard the space station, testing technologies, performing science, and developing the skills needed to explore farther from Earth. Astronauts living in space aboard the orbiting laboratory communicate with NASA’s Mission Control Center in Houston 24 hours a day through the Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) Near Space Network.

Important research and technology investigations taking place aboard the International Space Station benefit people on Earth and lays the groundwork for future exploration.

As part of Artemis, NASA will send astronauts to the Moon to prepare for future human exploration of Mars. Inspiring the next generation of explorers – the Artemis Generation – ensures America will continue to lead in space exploration and discovery.

In an increasingly interconnected world, fostering intercultural understanding is crucial. That’s where ASSE, a non-profit public benefit organization, comes in.

ASSE’s selection process is based on academic performance, character references, and a genuine desire to experience life abroad. Students have the freedom to choose their host country, irrespective of prior language knowledge. Scholarships are available, considering academic performance, leadership skills, and financial need.

The program ensures that families abroad are carefully screened, providing a safe and nurturing environment for students. Although language proficiency is not a requirement before departure, students acquire language skills through immersion in the local culture and attending regular high school classes alongside their new teenage friends.

Moreover, ASSE offers American families a chance to host international students from various countries, including Spain, Italy, Germany, Ukraine, Thailand, and Japan. Hosting an ASSE student provides an invaluable cross-cultural experience, as the students actively participate in the host family’s daily activities and attend a local American high school for an academic year or semester.

To learn more about becoming an ASSE exchange student or hosting an international student, contact Saphia Lesch at 1-800-473-0696, visit www.asse.com, or send an email to [email protected].

ASSE International Student Exchange Programs create opportunities for personal growth, lifelong friendships, and a deeper appreciation for diverse cultures. Join ASSE today and embark on a transformative journey of intercultural exchange.
