Cloud Campus

Dr. Jessica Creamer will be giving Cloud FlexFriday students a short talk about how NASA looks for signs of life in the universe. From the Curiosity and Perseverance Mars rovers to the newest technologies that are trying to fly to the ocean worlds of Enceladus and Europa.

Dr. Jessica Creamer went to graduate school at the University of Kansas to study pharmaceutical chemistry. Her research focused on how to transport medicines safely within developing countries. She developed technologies that could work in areas where there was limited running water and electricity. This research led her to a job at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory where a similar technology was being used to test for life on other planets. She worked on a team to create an instrument suite called OWLS - Ocean Worlds Life Surveyor. OWLS combines microscopy and chemical analysis to search for life in overlapping ways.

Ever think you'd like to change the world? Cloud FlexFriday students will learn about taking the first step!

Julie Corbett, President & Founder of Corbett Education Consulting LLC will provide an overview on the pathways to run for local elected office, and highlight her journey serving on a local school board. She'll highlight different avenues for civic engagement and how youth can get involved and make changes in their local communities.
