A Quick Blog Boast

The STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) schools Justin has been working with were recently highlighted on a news network in Cairo.  The fellow speaking about the project is Essam Heggy, member of the NASA Science team.  Justin and a co-worker took care to translate and add subtitles.  I'm feeling very proud of Justin and want to share this clip with our devoted readership.   Toot toot!  Enjoy!

As a sidenote...  when asked why Essam was drawn to space exploration, he replied, "Being born in a small oasis in the desert, I always wanted to learn how to explore water and understand why stars are shiny in the clear desert night sky."  Yes!  I don't know when Essam first felt this pull, but his remark makes me think of children.  Little ones are so close to 'the source'...  or, to whatever preceded life and whatever comes after life.  The thoughts and wisdom they have while so young are not to be taken lightly.  I hope May and any other children we have are as fearless as Essam in pursuing their greatest personal wonderments.
