Mr. Jared Isaacman wears many hats. He's the founder and CEO of Shift4 Payments, a visionary philanthropist, a seasoned pilot, a soon-to-be space explorer, and a dad to Moravian Academy students Liv '34 and Mila '32. On April 6, 2021, he visited Moravian Academy and presented assemblies for our curious students about Inspiration4, the first all-civilian space mission that he is leading.
The sixth grade students recently explored living and working in space on board the International Space Station. Students investigated what it takes to create a human-safe and comfortable environment in the absence of gravity. They learned the importance of the Environmental Control Life Support Systems (ECLSS) that make life possible on the ISS. As a culminating activity, the students (working individually or in pairs) then used their new understanding of ECLSS to design spacesuits that would allow astronauts to bring portable life support systems with them on spacewalks.
On Friday, March 26, 2021, a group of Middle School learners participated in the Charting Horizons and Opportunities in Careers in Engineering and Science program, known as CHOICES.
