I loved hearing what space industry specialists had to share in regard to what can be done to create a diverse and sustainable space workforce. Michael Patrick Edmonds, SVP, Strategy, Marketing, and Sales for Blue Origin stressed the need for individuals to work together to educate and train individuals pursuing careers in STEM careers. He focused on a key point and that is that we must work with K12 educators, and even at the preschool level to help them develop and create engaging and impactful STEM learning experiences.

Edmonds was joined by Steve Isakowitz, President and CEO of The Aerospace Corporation, Amy Pritchett, Professor and Head of Aerospace Engineering, PSU, and Melanie Stricklan, CEO and Co-Founder, of Slingshot Aerospace.
