Yuri’s Night is an international celebration of space science, human spaceflight and the exploration of our cosmos! Join us in this one time class as we discuss the discoveries and achievements of the past year in the space sciences and share our favorite space moments. We will briefly discuss the history of space exploration and human flight and then give a year in review of the amazing recent achievements in space science, including the landing of two rovers on Mars, SpaceX’s Starship, the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope, Parker Probes visit to the Sun, and more! Learners will be invited to share and discuss their favorite space moments of the year. This is a highly interactive class. Students will learn through an image and video filled presentation and discussion. Students’ participation and questions are regularly encouraged. The class is designed to encourage student engagement and follow their curiosity!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree from American Military University
Hello! My name is Arwen, and I am absolutely passionate about space science, the environment, and teaching! I offer courses about the solar system, planets, natural processes, soil, and the environment. I am a NASA Solar System Ambassador and science author. My Master's is in Space Science, and I have undergraduate degrees in Agricultural Ecology, and Natural Resource Management. I am currently working on a doctorate in STEM education.
I believe curiosity and learning are human instincts. I try to honor that by asking the learners lots of questions and encouraging them to think about information in new ways.
When not teaching, you can find me hosting "Found in Space: A Science Podcast for Kids and Teens" or playing Dungeons and Dragons and exploring the Southwest with my three homeschooled kiddos and our cat named Eratosthenes!
I like to keep class sizes small so each learner can get individualized and full attention. Please feel free to reach out.
