In this one-time class students will be introduced to the field of astrobiology. Also called exobiology, astrobiology explores what life is, how it may have emerged, and what it might look like beyond Earth.

Learners will be introduced to some of the bizarre organisms on Earth known as extremophiles as well as potential environments in our own solar system for similar organisms, such as Europa, Titan, and Mars. 

We will explore:

What is life? 
What makes a planet habitable?
Where in our own solar system might we find life?
How do we search for life beyond our solar system?

The class is lecture and discussion based. Learners will view and participate in a presentation full of images and some videos. They will have the opportunity to ask questions and think critically about origins and evolution of life!

There are no prerequisites for this class, just a love of learning and curiosity about astronomy and outer space.

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 big, fluffy orange cat named Moose! 

I like to keep class sizes small so each learner can get individualized and full attention. Please feel free to reach out.
