A non - profit national corporation Established in 1989. San Diego, California In reality poverty, hunger, violence, and illness are so widespread that they are the number one enemy of our world.

    NEWS RELEASE CONTACT: Magen Eissenstat October 20, 2020 405/371-5837 Lights On Afterschool Events Across the Nation Are Showcasing the Engaging, Fun STEM Education Afterschool Programs Provide A conversation with a NASA astronaut. A coding hackathon competition. An egg drop contest. Student-built catapults to launch candy pumpkins. Classes on discovering dinosaurs. Those are some of the educational, fun STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) and STEAM (STEM plus arts) activities taking place at Lights On Afterschool events across the nation this week. Now in its 21st year, the only national rally for afterschool includes thousands of events, many of them virtual and many being held on Thursday. Lights On Afterschool is organized by the Afterschool Alliance to underscore the need to invest in afterschool programs, which keep students safe, improve their academic achievement, and support working families. This Friday, the STEM Next Opportunity Fund, Million Girls Moonshot, and NASA are collaborating with the Afterschool Alliance to provide afterschool youth with an opportunity to speak live with astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli about her journey to becoming an astronaut. Moghbeli will answer students’ questions about the Artemis mission, which will land the first woman and next man on the Moon by 2024. NASA plans to use what it learns on the Moon to take the next giant leap, sending astronauts to Mars. “At their afterschool programs, students of all ages learn how to plant gardens, build rocket engines, cure diseases, and keep our air and water clean,” said Afterschool Alliance Executive Director Jodi Grant. “These programs create fun activities that educate students now and make them want to learn more later.
