In this one-time course, students will learn about what it takes to be an astronaut. Students will learn about the training that takes place and how astronauts prep for a mission to space. We will discuss the qualifications that are required to become an astronaut for NASA. This will be a lecture-based lesson with a slide show. I will be using photos and a short video clip during class. Students are welcome to ask questions and to participate as much or as little as they would like. See you soon! Mrs. Cristina

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary
Hi! My name is Cristina and I am an Astronomy and Meteorology teacher. I have been an educator for over a decade, having earned a Bachelor's degree in Christian Ministry with a minor in Psychology and Counseling. I am a certified severe storm spotter for both the National Weather Service and the Spotter Network, and am proud to be a NASA Social alumni. Additionally, I serve as a Solar System Ambassador for NASA/JPL, allowing me to share the latest astronomy events with my community.
In my role as a science communicator, I've had the honor of sharing space-related updates for numerous years, affording me the opportunity to distribute information about space across various social media platforms. Additionally, I was selected by Lockheed Martin as a space influencer for the OSIRIS-REx asteroid mission. These experiences have not only enriched my understanding of current space developments but also enabled me to impart this knowledge within my Outschool classes.
Science, particularly Meteorology and Astronomy, have always been a passion of mine and I strive to make learning about it enjoyable for students.
When I'm not teaching, I enjoy reading books, playing the piano, solving jigsaw puzzles, and baking cookies. I look forward to teaching your learner in the classroom!
