Beyond the Museum: Bringing Space Exploration Down to Earth
Presenter: Dr. Voula Saridakis
Space exploration inspires curiosity, innovation, and discovery, but connecting people to these stories requires more than spacecraft and technology. Drawing on my experiences as Head Curator at the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry and as a NASA Solar System Ambassador, this presentation will explore how we bring the history and excitement of space science and exploration to diverse audiences through our Henry Crown Space Center, while also connecting those stories to current developments in planetary science and NASA’s exploration programs.
