A NASA Scientist Comes Home with an Asteroid Gift

Saw this article in the NY Times: NASA’s Osiris-Rex Brings Bennu Asteroid Sample to Earth - The New York Times

This is a great connection to our Mars Rover STEM Labs for VEX 123 and GO (also many other applications with Col. Jo). Also, great tie-ins to VEXcode VR. Wonderful example of authentic application.

If you incorporate this article into your lesson - please share! Thanks,
