3. Tonight’s Roadmap RWIW – Overview JWST – What and Why? Engineers and Scientists RealWorld InWorld Take the Plunge

4. What kind of projects “engage” your students? Real-world Connections Hands-onCurrent Interdisciplinary CreativeProblem- solving CollaborativeProject-based RWIW – Overview

5. Authentic Engineering Design Challenge James Webb Space Telescope Students in grades 9 – 12 Project-based Collaborative teamwork Thinking like scientists and engineers Mentors

6. We’ll talk about this later …

7. Who do you think makes up the team that designed and is now building the James Webb Space Telescope? Ideas? Type your responses in the chat.

8. Brilliant ideas! How do I convince an engineer to help work out the details? What a goofy idea! But … just might work. Need a model to test this out. Time? Budget? Good thing I’m here to keep things on track. A successful project requires all three roles.

9. Engineering Behind the JWST optical thermal electrical mechanical system s & software, contamination control, process/quality control …

10. The James Webb Space Telescope - - - - - - - jwst.nasa.gov BIG questions need a BIG telescope! Why?

11. And it IS big … 80 ft. 40 ft. Approximately

12. Now to answer the... why?

13. JWST - 101 James Webb? JWST? Mission Lead? Collaboration? Prime Contractor? Instruments?

14. JWST Orbits the Sun (Not the Earth!) L2 is … a Lagrange point outside Earth’s orbit around the Sun unstable, so station- keeping thruster burns are required Parked at “L2”

15. Now, the Science of JWST JWST is a “Time Machine”

16. Four Science Themes for the Webb telescope Planets and Life First GalaxiesGalaxy Assembly Birthplaces of Stars

17. Instrument packages aboard JWST Are you familiar with the function of any of these?

18. James Webb Space Telescope Deployment Animation

19. Testing being done on JWST ~ Live feed from the Goddard Clean room ~ URL to use to watch the ‘Webb Cam’ http://www.jwst.nasa.gov/webcam.html

20. What do you wonder now? First three questions? 1. 2. 3.

21. Team work … Scientists Technicians Engineers Mathematicians STEM

22. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Scientists BothEngineers Attributes …

23. Science is the study of what is, Engineering builds what will be. The scientist merely explores that which exists, while the engineer creates what has never existed before. Theodore VonKármán, c.a. 1957 Engineers and Scientists

24. One question The natural world One answer… Scientific Method

25. A societal need The designed world Many solutions… Engineering Design Process
