When New River Community College instructor Jeff Levy was considering what project to have students in his engineering design technology program work on this year, he took a shot in the dark: He emailed someone he had never met who had no direct ties to the community and who also worked halfway across the country, retired NASA astronaut Dr. Franklin Chang Diaz, CEO of Ad Astra Rocket Company in Houston, Texas. That email turned into a lengthy phone call. And that phone call turned into a unique educational opportunity for NRCC students in Levy’s class. Chang Diaz and his team at Ad Astra had often worked with Ph.D. program students, but typically not with first- and second-year community college students. But once he learned what Levy was interested in pursuing, he was immediately interested in helping those in Levy’s program learn more about his own passion for space travel, and in turn, perhaps he could inspire that same passion in a new generation of learners.
