Crew members on the space station host Story Time from Space by videotaping themselves reading children’s books.
They also complete simple demonstrations that accompany the Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) concepts in the books.
The videos are edited and posted to an online library with related educational materials for educators and parents to use.
The project aims to bring space station science to communities that have had no other involvement with the space program through the simple beauty of reading a book to the children of Earth from orbit.
The books are delivered to the space station and returned after the videos are completed.
The program will increase awareness of the station, and connects (STEM) concepts with literacy, providing teachers a unique and engaging way to teach.
