STEAM Chat - Episode 5 - Building STEAM at NASA - Meet Shannon McConnell

Mesquite Works STEAM Chat was honored to host Shannon McConnell for a stimulating conversation about her career journey at the NASA Jet Propulsion Lab that cemented her love for STEM education which then culminated in her appointment as the Education and Public Engagement Lead for NASA’s Deep Space Network.

We talk about the many projects she was part of: Magellan, Space Shuttle, Cassini, TOPEX/Poseidon, Galileo,

also artificial intelligence, her lead role in NASA collaboration with K-12 education and why there could be no STEA without Mathematics.
