National STEM Day is November 8 and the unofficial holiday celebrates science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education throughout the United States. The day focuses on helping students advance in STEM fields, a priority of NASA as we continue to push the boundaries of exploration and soar into the future. In celebration of National STEM Day, we challenge you to engage and inspire the Artemis generation as we go forward to the Moon by 2024 and continue to innovate in the areas of Earth science and aeronautics. To help you join in on the festivities, here are 10 ways you can celebrate National STEM Day with us.

Artemis is our program to put the first woman and next man on the Moon by 2024. We will use innovative new technologies and partners from around the world to establish a sustainable lunar presence by 2028. Then, after exploring more of the Moon more than ever before, we will use what we learned there to send astronauts to Mars. Learn how we're taking the next giant leap → http://nasa.gov/artemis

You could be featured in a video by NASA - well, your question, that is. Head over to Twitter and ask us about our space, aeronautics and Earth science exploration goals. All you have to do is type your question using the hashtag #AskNASA and selected questions will be featured on our new series, fittingly called, '#AskNASA.' During each episode, NASA experts answer your questions from social media. Watch #AskNASA here → http://bit.ly/2Njtgld

For the second year in a row, NASA and The GLOBE Program are asking citizen scientists to take out their phones and report what kinds of clouds they see. The challenge started October 15, but it runs through November 15 so there's still time to participate. Citizen scientists young, old and in-between can submit up to 10 cloud observations per day using the GLOBE Observer app or one of GLOBE's other data entry options (for trained members). Participants with the most observations will receive a personalized thank you from a NASA scientist. Get the app and start observing → https://go.nasa.gov/2owTGGl

The 14 NASA visitor centers offer a unique look at NASA history through interactive exhibits and presentations. A few current exhibitions include Space Shuttle Atlantis at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, a real Moon rock at NASA's Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley, California, and the Apollo 12 capsule at the Virginia Air & Space Center in Hampton, Virginia, the visitors center of NASA's Langley Research Center. Admission prices vary. Find a NASA visitor center or air and space museum near you → http://www.visitnasa.com

Interns from three NASA centers spent their summer competing to develop a laptop flight simulator of the X-59 Quiet SuperSonic Technology or "QueSST" aircraft. The X-59 is an experimental supersonic aircraft currently under construction and will fly for the first time in 2021. Now, those laptop simulations are available to the public for free and allow people to fly the X-59 from home.
