Astrobotany at Black Families Technology Awareness Day 2024

Greetings from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s 25th annual Black Families Technology Awareness Day! This was the 3rd year I’ve taught an Art Technically Astrobotany workshop at BFTAD.

Students in the astrobotany workshop learned about plant, food, and space science and toured the plant lab and smart conference room at RPI’s Center for Lighting Enabled Systems and Applications (LESA). Each student received astronaut ice cream and two STEM books to take home. Thank you to all of the volunteers that helped out!
