SUMMARY:Teen Science Café: Merging Flight and Robotics on Mars
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Daily Planet Café for an exploration of Ingenuity\, NASA’s groundbreaking autonomous helicopter\, which soared to new heights on Mars and proved that flight is possible in the Red Planet’s thin atmosphere. Learn about the remarkable challenges in aviation beyond Earth. From its first flight to its ongoing contributions to the Perseverance rover’s exploration\, Ingenuity’s success has opened new possibilities for future planetary exploration. \nDiscover how this tiny rotorcraft has redefined what’s possible in aerospace technology\, provided crucial data for Mars exploration\, and paved the way for future aerial missions to other planets. \nRecommended for ages 11–17. YouTube livestream also available. \n  \nAbout the presenter: \nAlan Rich is a scientist and engineer working as a JPL Solar System Ambassador\, software tester\, and tech spin-off developer since 2001. Alan enjoys taking deep topics such as astrophysics and rocket science and presenting them to any age group and education level in a way that’s entertaining and easy to understand. \n\nTeen Science Cafés bring teens together in an informal setting to learn about science and technology on the first Friday of each month during the school year. Each café includes a scientist presentation\, an interactive activity relating to the discussion\, a Q&A session\, and time to socialize with other teens who enjoy science.
