Lunar science
with a NASA scientist

Limited availability - starts October 2024

Why should you be interested?

This course will help you learn how to measure and understand the worlds beyond Earth, starting with the Moon. With NASA's intent to establish a sustained presence on the Moon, new geospatial applications related to the Moon are taking off across the globe! However, a recent report shows a severe shortage of experts in this field, particularly in the United States.

This course is my initiative to help steer the spacecraft in the right direction for the future by training the next generation of lunar and planetary scientists early in their careers. At present, this course is designed for high school students (grade 9 and above). If you plan on pursuing a career in this field or are a curious cat, you have come to the right place at the right time.

Ad Astra!
