NASA Astronaut to Discuss LEGOS in Space at Tufts Monday

Astronaut Mike Foreman will join kids in designing and building robotic arms; he'll also talk about living in space.

NASA astronaut Mike Foreman, who's been to the International Space Station, will be at Monday to play with some LEGOS.

More specifically, Foreman will be at the Tufts University Center for Engineering Education and Outreach to give a presentation on LEGOS in Space, a collaboration with LEGO and NASA "to spark children's interest in science, technology, engineering and math," according to an announcement from Tufts.

In the morning, Foreman will give a presentation to kids in the program who are in 5th to 8th grade. They'll design and build a robotic arm, share designs, and then hear stories about life in space. In the afternoon, Foreman will do the same thing with kids in the program's 9th- through 12th-grade level.
