NASA’s Neurodiversity Network at a James Webb Space Telescope Event


NASA’s Neurodiversity Network (N3) – a Science Activation project focused on "Creating Inclusive Informal Learning Opportunities across the Spectrum" – recently staffed a table at a community astronomy fair organized by the College of Marin in Marin City, California. There were approximately 100 people in attendance who participated in many astronomy-related activities in honor of the recent launch of the James Webb Space Telescope. The N3 students, N3 Pricipal Investigator Cominsky, and Co-Investigator Peticolas enjoyed sharing about the various ways that they provide pathways for neurodiverse learners to participate in NASA Science and pursue STEM employment, as well as showing students at the fair how to make pulsar models.
