Live Chat Roundup: January 6, 2011

Happy New Year!

Well, it is still the same school year, but when the digit changes it always marks the time for new resolutions.  I have two: 1) Always live in the future - keep moving forward. And 2) When faced with a problem make the wisest choice possible.  Feel free to share yours on the Discussion Board.

Now, on to last night's chat!  We had 69 in attendance to hear Glenn Research Center's Roger Storm share about the history and work of the Center.  Many students were surprised to learn at one time Glenn had a working nuclear reactor and today specializes in microgravity research.  We also learned of Roger's TV game show experience!  You can find out more by visiting the archive and viewing the Live Chat 1/6 Glenn Research Center.  Don't forget to take the quiz to earn 50 points!

Next week, we will be hosting chats to help answer questions about the Summer STEM Experience applications.  To give the most students the best opportunity to attend, we will host 6 chats.  You will need to sign up on the Discussion Board for the chat you wish to attend.  The dates and times are:
Remember: you only need to attend one chat, so choose the one most convenient to your schedule.

Our next Live Chat will be Thursday January 20 at 8:00pm CT.  It will be on the results of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and will feature Anthony Colaprete of Ames Research Center, CA.  Information on signing up for the chat will appear in the eINSPIRE communication on January 17th.  See you then!
