In this article NASA breaks down the important roles students and recent grads like Katrina “Kat” Ternus, Jenny Gil Acevedo, Justin Borrero, Melissa Venedicto, Shayne Tyrell and Aidan Fleming, are playing in lunar exploration:
Artemis I launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Wednesday, Nov. 16, the uncrewed Artemis I mission will be the first integrated flight of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft. This first in a series of increasingly complex missions will carry Orion around the Moon, paving the way for astronauts – including the first woman and person of color—to step onto the lunar surface.
This new era in human exploration has had the help of students who lend their efforts to make future lunar exploration a reality.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
