At Space Center Houston, we're inspiring the next generation of Space Explorers 🌟 This morning, students at Herrera Elementary celebrated Arm & Hammer's Baking Soda Rocket Day and had the incredible opportunity to hear directly from former astronaut Mike Foreman about what it’s like to live and work in space and how STEM education can launch their own futures. As part of the program, each grade got hands-on with a rocket launch activity, putting science into action and seeing firsthand just how far curiosity can take them. This collaboration is a wonderful example of what happens when sponsorship and education come together. Thanks to the support of Church & Dwight Co., Inc., we’re able to bring meaningful, hands-on STEM inspiration straight to classrooms, sparking curiosity and showing students that they, too, can reach for the stars ✨ Discover how we’re helping shape the next generation of explorers: https://lnkd.in/e6p63fzD
