🎓In this video Andrew Voss shares his #journey from #SpaceX #engineer to #educational innovator, driven by a passion for #handsonlearning, interdisciplinary #learning that he found lacking in traditional #education systems. His transition was significantly influenced by the encounter with Joshua Dahn, director and co-founder of Ad Astra School @ SpaceX.

In 2019, during my school admission, I shared the idea of 🚀#rocketry #club activity project, incorporating theoretical parts of #orbital #mechanics and rocketry terminology with the #KSP 👽 Kerbal Space Program. As the school transitioned to Astra Nova School online, and Andrew began leading activities, I joined his class and have since considered him my mentor and rocketry coach.

Here are my take away from his talk:
⭕ Hands-on Experience and the value of practical, hands-on projects over traditional classroom learning. His experience at Vanderbilt's rocket team and observation of successful colleagues at SpaceX highlighted the importance of real-world, project-based experiences.
⭕ Collaborative Skills: Success at SpaceX and in the broader engineering field requires excellent collaborative skills, including communication, problem-solving, and owning up to mistakes.
⭕ Prioritizes innovative, project-based learning, and reinforces his commitment to transforming education.
⭕ The Tiger Team Philosophy: Drawing from #NASA and #SpaceX, in education, engaging #students in real, meaningful problems to develop their skills in a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment.
⭕ Personal Growth and Teaching Advice: Reflecting on his journey, Andrew encourages educators to adapt to each student's unique needs and interests, highlighting the importance of relationship-building and adaptability in effective teaching.
⭕ Memorable Moments and Advice for Students: empowering moments at Astra Nova and advice to students entering rocketry or engineering fields: seek challenges, embrace discomfort, value community, and prioritize ethical conduct and kindness.
