NASA Student Airborne Research Program 2023: Sky-High Science Learning

1. 0:09so AAP is the student airborne research program
2. 0:11And what's really exciting about AAP is we tend to we tend to find students
3. 0:17who are at smaller universities who might not have access to research opportunities within their university.
4. 0:25And we give them what I consider like a once in a lifetime chance to come out, see how scientists within
5. 0:33Nassr Noa, some of our other government agencies, different universities, collect data on on flying laboratories
6. 0:44I'm from a very small town in southwestern Pennsylvania from a college called Pen West University of California.
7. 0:52And whenever I say small, I mean, like, very small.
8. 0:55There's only like 7 to 8 people in my class.
9. 0:57I major in meteorology and climate science.
10. 1:00So it's a very, very small university.
11. 1:03So I'm very proud to be able to say that I got into this
12. 1:07Hey, the ice seems like it's at a pretty high level right now.
13. 1:11Is anybody else saying that?
14. 1:13We are there to learn.
15. 1:14We're there to observe, see what's going on with the scientists, learn about the tools and instrumentation firsthand.
16. 1:21Personal ask any questions.
17. 1:22We have things that we can't find online.
18. 1:26things that you couldn't typically research?
19. 1:28We have the expert in front of us to ask those questions too, Julia, you see that background right there?
20. 1:36Can you turn that 90 degrees to our in that way?
21. 1:44Thank you.
22. 1:48this year we have the whole air sampling group, we have the atmospheric
23. 1:51aerosols group, we have the land group, and we have the oceans group.
24. 1:54So those are pretty broad research topics.
25. 1:58But what's really cool is the students, you know, they get assigned into these groups randomly, I'm a geologist.
26. 2:03I'm on the ground.
27. 2:04I love the earth.
28. 2:05And they put me in a group with air.
29. 2:07And so they do that and it makes us really interdisciplinary.
30. 2:11So, you know, I had so many project ideas for the land and throwing me into the air group.
31. 2:15I'm having to learn about all these things.
32. 2:17I wouldn't typically study with my degree plan and incorporate them into the field, but I do love because of
33. 2:25the way that this program works, dividing us into four different groups, you're thrown into areas that you're very unfamiliar with,
34. 2:32So being able to explore all these different things as a geologist, being up in the air, looking at aerosol chemistry,
35. 2:38I don't think would ever have crossed my mind being able to take in new experiences
36. 2:42and adapt that into my form of knowledge and understanding of the world
37. 2:48helps create these wonderful discoveries that are going to change the world.
38. 2:52And on top of that, they're extremely excited to teach you about everything that they know
39. 2:58because they're excited to see the future and we are the future.
40. 3:03in terms of my future, who knows?
41. 3:07Maybe I'll be back in this facility sometime
