1
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.
