Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas, chairman of the U.S.    House Committee on Science, Space and Technology, will open the    downlink with a voice check call up to the station.  <\/p>\n<p>    Media interested in covering the event must contact Colin Lang    at 210-820-8850 or <a href=\"mailto:clang@ahisd.net\">clang@ahisd.net<\/a>. Alamo Heights High School    is located at 6900 Broadway in San Antonio.  <\/p>\n<p>    The students participating in the downlink are involved in    SystemsGo, a science, technology, engineering and mathematics    (STEM) initiative developed to promote engineering studies    through research. SystemsGo helps students to develop work    force skills and encourage them to study subjects that lead to    careers in the engineering industries. The school has    incorporated NASA activities into classes in preparation for    the conversation. Linking students directly to astronauts    aboard the space station provides them with an authentic, live    experience of space exploration, space study and the scientific    components of space travel and possibilities of life in space.  <\/p>\n<p>    This in-flight education downlink is one in a series with    educational organizations in the United States to improve STEM    teaching and learning. It is an integral component of NASA's    Teaching From Space education program, which promotes learning    opportunities and builds partnerships with the education    community using the unique environment of space and NASA's    human spaceflight program.  <\/p>\n<p>    To keep up with Hopkins' research and life on the station    through Twitter, follow:  <\/p>\n<p>    <a class=\"twitter-timeline\" data-width=\"584\" data-height=\"876\" data-dnt=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AstroIllini?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">Tweets by AstroIllini<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>  <\/p>\n<p>    To follow Twitter updates from Mastracchio, visit:  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>See the rest here:<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/spaceref.com\/news\/viewpr.html?pid=42336\" title=\"Texas High School Students to Talk Live with Space Station Crew Members\">Texas High School Students to Talk Live with Space Station Crew Members<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Students at Alamo Heights High School in San Antonio and their congressional representative will speak with Expedition 38 crew members aboard the International Space Station at 10:25 a.m. CST Thursday, Jan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/space-station\/texas-high-school-students-to-talk-live-with-space-station-crew-members.php\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"limit_modified_date":"","last_modified_date":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-102516","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-space-station"],"modified_by":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102516"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=102516"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102516\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=102516"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=102516"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=102516"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
