CCBN Space Talks
March 30, 2021 @ 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Join us and a panel of space, education and health experts on our mission to introduce students to space as a real possibility!
Emmy-winning Journalist Lori Lizarraga moderates this stellar panel of experts: Valerie Brown-Gill, Aerospace Engineer and Educator; Starr Schroeder RN, PoSSUM Scientist-Astronaut Candidate; Kim Macharia, Space Frontier Foundation Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Chair; Christina Korp, CEO Purpose Entertainment and Astronaut Wrangler; and Ana Cox LPN, CCBN Space Expo Creator.
"The barriers that have been used to keep nurses out of the space program are the same barriers that are used to discourage youth from seeing themselves as an integral part of space reality – especially those in marginalized communities. CCBN Space Talks aims to change that!"
The first CCBN Space Talks session blasts off with a panel discussion from experts in space, education and health industries on Tuesday, March 30, 2021 from 5pm – 6:30pm MT. Stick around for a networking opportunity from 6:30 pm - 7:00 pm MT.
The CCBN Space Talks are a series of action oriented and solution-based conversations that will explore breaking barriers in space discovery for the next generation, and are hosted by the Colorado Council of Black Nurses Inc (CCBN) in a virtual environment.
Tuesday, March 30th is the first in a 6-talk series, taking place every last Tuesday of the month from March – August, culminating with the September launch of the Space Expo! A 5-day virtual assembly focusing on physical and applied sciences for preschool, elementary, middle and high school students, the Space Expo will start September 27, 2021 and culminate on October 1 – the 63rd anniversary of NASA’s opening!
CCBN’s Space Talks and Space Expo is one small step to encourage everyone, however able, to donate or influence the donation of resources so that children can be part of the giant leap for mankind and the greater good. Let’s promote space as a reality for the next generation.
