A Conversation with a NASA Engineer about the Mars Rover Project and GOOD NIGHT OPPY

This edWeb podcast is sponsored by GOOD NIGHT OPPY, Wonder Workshop & CT&Co. The webinar recording can be accessed here.

Wonder Workshop and Prime Video are excited to invite teachers, with their students, to share a conversation with the Flight Director at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Bekah Sosland Siegfriedt, featured systems engineer in the new, inspiring documentary, GOOD NIGHT OPPY. The documentary tells the inspirational true story of Opportunity, a rover sent to Mars for a 90-day mission that ended up surviving for 15 years. Students and teachers hear about the mission’s ups and downs and about the remarkable bond forged between the robot and the NASA JPL humans millions of miles away.

The edWeb podcast is hosted by Bryan Miller of Wonder Workshop. STEM educator Naomi Meredith interviews Bekah Sosland Siegfriedt. Teachers and their students can find inspiration from Siegfriedt‘s journey as a middle school student when Oppy landed on Mars, to NASA Flight Director solving technical challenges at the end of the robot’s life.

This edWeb podcast is of interest to K-12 teachers, librarians, school leaders, and STEM educators.
