NASA Astronaut and National Geographic Nature Photographer in Training Visit RAUC 7th Graders!

Recently, two inspiring guest speakers visited RAUC 7th grade science students:

• NASA Astronaut and MIT Professor Dr. Jeff Hoffman visited us virtually.
  --Dr. Hoffman discussed zero gravity flight and our students' projects for the Zero-G flight sponsored by MIT Astro/Aero Dept.
  --He also spoke with our scholars about his work as an astronaut with NASA.
• Northeastern student and National Geographic nature photographer in training Jake Stout visited us in-person. Jake is also a former RAUC student!
  --Jake talked about his adventures in the wild and how he has turned his passion into his work.
  --He also shared his photos and students asked him about how he got such great shots (see photo on right).
• Shout out to 7th grade science teacher Mr. Mahoney for helping bring such inspiring speakers and to our students who asked great questions!
