As we gear up for the second Total Lunar Eclipse visible in North America this year, students will learn all about the moon phases, why lunar and solar eclipses occur, and how they can make their own scientific observations of the Nov. 8th lunar eclipse. Students will also create their own stop motion animation film themed around the mysteries of the moon, and earn their final “Astronomy” badge.

PASOFinders is a NASA funded program at Fab Lab El Paso. It is a play on the Spanish word el paso meaning the path. A pathfinder is someone who discovers the unknown. We will engage diverse border community, highlighting the cultural heritage of El Paso, Texas and its importance as the world’s largest binational borderplex. In doing so, we hope to empower the next generation of pioneers to explore the final frontier of space. Fab Lab is designated as an official NASA Community Anchor Site. 

Theme: Solar System and Beyond, Discovering the Secret of the Universe #NASABeyond

Technical Content: Space Science, Space Exploration

Students To Launch works with informal education institutions across the country we call “S2L Hubs” — museums, science centers, youth-serving institutions, libraries, and other places where students congregate outside of school. Fab Lab is the Students To Launch Hub for El Paso, Texas is also a Community Anchor Site for NASA – bringing #NASASTEM to underserved populations.

The mission of Students To Launch is to inspire students from communities across the US to develop a deeper understanding of the challenges and goals of spaceflight missions and, in doing so, discover passions that can lead to the possibility of a career in aerospace and astronautics.

There is an exciting future for humans in space. Never before in the history of our planet has there been greater technology, interest, and diversity in the space industry. Students today—the Artemis Generation—will have the opportunity to live and work in space. Students To Launch encourages students to experience the wonders of spaceflight and inspires them to play an active role in a future of infinite possibilities.

Welcome to the kickoff event of the Women in 3D Printing – El Paso Chapter.

Join us for an evening of innovation inspiration and networking opportunity for women working at the intersection of technology, economic development, creativity, and community.

For our inaugural meetup, we have a special speaker Amaris Castanon, a field application scientist at biotech startup CELLINK, working in the cutting-edge field of bio 3d printing. Amaris has worked at prestigious and renowned research institutions such as The University of Sheffield (UK), Graz University of Technology (Austria), UPenn (USA), University of Texas Medical Branch (USA), Universidad Autonoma de Mexico (Mexico), Fraunhofer Institute of Applied Optics and Precision and Engineering (Germany), and University of Barcelona (Spain). Her diverse background has allowed her to obtain significant experience in many research fields including those of stem cell culture, biomaterials, and biochemistry –all fields vital to the interfaced environment that 3D bioprinting faces today.

Complimentary beverages served (coffee, beer, wine, etc.)

The Latina LEADS is a grant funded program by League of United Latin American Citizen and Spectrum for middle school aged Latinas. The purpose of the program is to introduce the digital world in a safe, legal, and ethical way. Participants will learn about their rights and responsibilities, as well as opportunities available to them in an interconnected digital world. We also empower participants’ learning and ensure that they take an active role in learning, help participants become creative communicators. By working with others in group environments, participants will learn how to think critically and find creative solutions. Latina LEADS students will administer career awareness and/or leadership workshops through a speaker series and be provided field trips to tech companies and other career development opportunities, such as job-shadowing leading Hispanic women.
