4. Coding the Cosmos: Behind the Scenes with Software Engineer at NASA Goddard, Aaron Shepard
Description
Hey, my little Questies! Today’s STEM career quest takes us far, far away into outer space! Now I have a question for you: Did you know that just like Earth orbits or moves around the sun, there are telescopes that orbit Earth? These special telescopes require a lot of work behind the scenes to ensure they work correctly. It takes careful planning, communication, and coding, all done from Earth!
To tell us more about these amazing telescopes, we will hear from Aaron Shephard, a software engineer at NASA Goddard. Aaron uses his software engineering skills in computer science to build projects, solve problems, do coding, and so much more! This episode is full of so many fun facts that I know Questies like you will think are out of this world! Don't forget to join our STEM Career Quest Club so you can learn even more about what it’s like to be a software engineer at NASA Goddard.
