Dio Portland in MaineSeventh and eighth grade students from St. John’s Catholic School in Brunswick, Maine, recently sent their science experiments into microgravity aboard a Zero-G flight—thanks to their teacher, Karin Paquin, and the Space for Teachers program supported by the ISS National Laboratory and the Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium.
On May 7, 2025, Mrs. Paquin flew aboard a parabolic Zero-G flight in Salina, Kansas, bringing student-designed experiments along for the ride. This hands-on experience was the culmination of a yearlong partnership with Space for Teachers, a program that not only brought real research into the classroom but allowed Mrs. Paquin to participate in her own professional learning journey.
