Curiosity is celebrating the World Cup in Scottish fashion and it got us thinking… ⚽🧡

What if we played on Mars?

Mars’ gravity is only 38% of Earth's, so the ball stays airborne almost three times as long. One clearance kick could sail the length of an entire field!

Good luck keeping that one in bounds.

Yesterday, professionals from all walks of STEM came together to inspire students from middle school through high school and show them what their future could hold.

Because it's never too early to start dreaming about a career in STEM.

This event would not have been possible without the incredible community partners who shared their time and expertise with our community. We are especially grateful to Nissan and the Nashville International Airport for their sponsorship and support in helping future engineers, doctors, scientists, and problem-solvers explore the possibilities ahead of them.

The future is bright. 🚀
