Help Mr. Bergado's Physics class at Spring Creek HS launch rockets! 🚀 They need just $171 for a Water Rocket Launcher so 80 students can learn about forces hands-on. Every donation makes a difference! #DonorsChoose #Rockets #Education #PhysicsTeacher #CommunitySupport

It's a time machine to study prebiotic chemistry. Titan may hold clues about how life began. Dragonfly will analyze organic compounds and search for chemical processes similar to those that may have sparked life on Earth.

Dragonfly will FLY across Titan like a drone on Earth! Titan's thick atmosphere and low gravity make it ideal for flying. Dragonfly will take off, land, and sample locations -- something no Mars rover can do!

Titan has lakes, rivers, and rain... BUT, they're made of liquid methane! Dragonfly will explore a world eerily like Earth, except it's -290F and the lakes are full of methane, not water!

And it's FAST!! The probe is traveling at 430,000 miles per hour—fast enough to get from Philadelphia to Washington, DC in ONE SECOND! It’s the fastest object ever made by humans, and with each orbit, it gets closer and faster as it slingshots around Venus.

Despite flying where temperatures exceed 1,800°F (1,000°C), the spacecraft’s instruments remain a cozy 85°F (29°C) inside, thanks to an ultra-advanced carbon-composite heat shield. That’s like standing next to a blast furnace with only a car sunshade to protect you—except this one really works.

It's the first spacecraft to “touch” the Sun—flying directly into the Sun’s corona, something no other mission has ever done, allowing scientists to study the solar wind and energetic particles up close, unlocking secrets about how the Sun affects space weather and even Earth’s power grids.

I like your point about informing the students/teachers upfront that it's AI. I think that's what makes it novel. And students especially need to see how AI can be used responsibly. Telling them "this is AI and we're using it as a tool in this way for this benefit" is an important lesson.

Definitely!! I loved that it gave me the opportunity to be creative again! I wasn't forced to teach to the test anymore. The library was the place to create, explore, and where the classroom teachers' curriculum came to life. I got to do all the fun stuff they don't have time for.

Our #skybrarian origin stories? I was working on my MEd and visiting with my SLMC-friend. She asked what I'd get out of that degree and said "THIS is what you should've studied!" I said I wished I'd known how!! She made a call and I was enrolled that day! Best decision ever!! What's yours? #TLSky
