My Brother’s Keeper National Lab Week

Steve Starr, a project manager with Vencore, talks to students in the My Brother’s Keeper program inside the transfer aisle of the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.  The Florida spaceport is one of six NASA centers that participated in My Brother’s Keeper National Lab Week. The event is a nationwide effort to bring youth from underrepresented communities into federal labs and centers for hands-on activities, tours and inspirational speakers. Sixty students from the nearby cities of Orlando and Sanford visited Kennedy, where they toured the Vehicle Assembly Building, the Space Station Processing Facility and the center’s innovative Swamp Works Labs. The students also had a chance to meet and ask questions of a panel of subject matter experts from across Kennedy.
