The Voyagers Learn About the Engineering Department from Jade Hansen
The Voyager Club is the name for the Christa McAuliffe Space Center's volunteering organization. The original Voyager Club started at the Space Center in the 1990's. Today's Voyager Club is composed of young space enthusiasts who share a common goal - to excite people to learn about space and what human space exploration offers mankind.
The Voyager Club at the Christa McAuliffe Space Center offers our cadets (members) an opportunity to learn about space and explore the unknown by expanding their understanding of the universe beyond Earth. The club's goal is to create a space faring civilization, because we know that human space exploration has the potential to inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers, and explorers to pursue careers in space-related fields, which could lead to technological advancements that benefit society as a whole. It also provides an opportunity to address important challenges facing humanity. By learning and promoting human space exploration, young people can help shape the future.
The Voyager Club blends science fiction and science to excite young people about space and to encourage them to excel in their school work. Science and science fiction have long been sources of inspiration for young people to learn more about space. Science provides the facts and the understanding of the physical laws that govern the universe, while science fiction offers the imagination and the possibility of what could be. By combining these two sources, young people are able to see beyond what is currently known and consider what may be possible in the future.
Science fiction stories, films, and TV shows often depict space travel, alien life, and futuristic technologies that capture the imaginations of young people and encourage them to learn more about space and science. In turn, this can inspire them to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields and contribute to the exploration and understanding of the universe.
Volunteering at the Space Center and / or working in a department is a requirement for membership in the club. Our Voyager cadets volunteer in both the starship simulators and the planetarium and can join any of the Center's four departments.
The Voyagers were introduced to the Space Center's support departments during the meeting. Each of the department heads spoke about their departments and encouraged the cadets to participate.
