RESOURCE #1 INTERACTIVE GUIDE - MATERIALS FOR STUDENT EXPLORATION

Use our interactive guide before you come to the performance to familiarize students with the context, people, and conversation they are about to see on stage. 

This guide works as a center activity on an iPad or tablet or as a small group or whole class activity. Our new guide gives you a chance to talk back, check your knowledge in interactive modules, dig deeper, and learn more about Kobie Boykins and his career with NASA!
