Welcome to Day in the Park
Please join the Katherine Johnson Independent Verification and Validation Facility's Education Resource Center for our second annual Digital Day in the Park! Attend our YouTube Livestream for three days of engaging STEM content, organized around NASA's missions. Meet some of the scientists, engineers, and innovators who live and work in West Virginia.
Day 1: Robots
Tuesday, October 12, 2021
Join us to learn about how NASA uses robots in its missions, what kind of robots are used in West Virginia, and how to get involved in competitive robotics at your school!
