00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.359
A normal day at work is very different
day-to-day because you never know what's

2
00:00:06.359 --> 00:00:11.790
gonna happen it could be anything from
planning an outreach event or you have

3
00:00:11.790 --> 00:00:15.809
meetings all day long where you're
planning for an upcoming event things

4
00:00:15.809 --> 00:00:18.480
change all the time but we're always
planning for the next event were always

5
00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:24.900
planning for the next activity. My name
is Stephanie Clark and I am the outreach

6
00:00:24.900 --> 00:00:30.869
coordinator for the Hubble Space
Telescope. I've always loved science I

7
00:00:30.869 --> 00:00:35.730
have a degree in kinesiology which is
exercise science I've always loved earth

8
00:00:35.730 --> 00:00:40.770
science in particular biology and just
how things work I've always found that

9
00:00:40.770 --> 00:00:45.329
really fascinating so I wanted to pursue
a career in science and I've always

10
00:00:45.329 --> 00:00:49.620
loved working with people I wanted to
work with children my whole life this

11
00:00:49.620 --> 00:00:53.579
job gives me the ability to do that and
talk to kids about science and space and

12
00:00:53.579 --> 00:00:58.469
it's just really amazing when you you
see that a kid learned something new you

13
00:00:58.469 --> 00:01:01.079
can kind of see it in their face their
face cut lights up and they're kind

14
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:06.880
that's really cool again this is really
cool.

15
00:01:06.880 --> 00:01:11.289
My number-one responsibility is planning
and coordinating outreach events coming

16
00:01:11.289 --> 00:01:16.360
up with new materials that are
interesting for people to engage with

17
00:01:16.360 --> 00:01:20.890
when we're at these outreach events to
giving teachers the tools that they need

18
00:01:20.890 --> 00:01:25.689
to spread along the word for us that's a
part of it too is you know provide the

19
00:01:25.689 --> 00:01:34.640
materials that they can use to inspire
creativity and inspire Wonder.

20
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:40.800
My favorite image is a star cluster
Westerlund 2 - I just think it's absolutely

21
00:01:40.800 --> 00:01:49.270
beautiful the colors and seeing all the
stars it's just amazing.

22
00:01:49.270 --> 00:01:54.610
The thing about working on a project
like Hubble is that it's the reason why

23
00:01:54.610 --> 00:02:00.340
you you know what you know about space.
This is amazing this stuff is going to

24
00:02:00.340 --> 00:02:03.789
be in textbooks and stuff that Hubble
is providing and this is gonna be impact

25
00:02:03.789 --> 00:02:07.539
on the world forever and then you kind
of realize hey my kids are gonna be

26
00:02:07.539 --> 00:02:10.959
learning about this one day and I'm a
part of it that's it's it's an amazing

27
00:02:10.959 --> 00:02:15.340
feeling but when you take a step back
and you talk to other people and you you

28
00:02:15.340 --> 00:02:18.849
know you go to events and you talk to
kids and you see how you know they want

29
00:02:18.849 --> 00:02:21.700
to be an astronaut or they want to be a
scientist and they want to use Hubble

30
00:02:21.700 --> 00:02:25.420
for a certain thing that it's just
amazing that's to me that's the that's

31
00:02:25.420 --> 00:02:27.930
the best part.
