Hi friends, This is a reminder about Janet Ivey from Janet's Planet who will be in South Africa next week. We are delighted to announce that we have 2 Cape Town venues (one in the Southern Suburbs and one in the northern suburbs) booked for the public to attend a presentation by this incredible presenter. I have had the privilege of working with Janet on space camps in the USA and at the Humans to Mars Summit in Washington DC. She is regularly on CNN to chat about the latest events in space and her show will appeal to all the space fans out there. We have also made the show a little earlier so that the junior space fans can enjoy the show. Bring your cellphone with as there will be a fun Kahoot quiz at the end and the top three participants will each win a cool prize. With a list of achievements like this, you know you will not want to miss her space talks! * Creator and CEO of Janet's Planet, Inc. * President of Explore Mars * American Astronautical Society's 2022 recipient of the Sally K Ride Excellence in Education Award. * Board of Advisors Orbital Assembly * NASA JPL Solar System Ambassador * Award-winning Science Educator * Author of Unsung Genius Book Series, Celebrating Unsung Women in Science * 12 Regional Emmy Awards * 5 Gracie Awards * STEM-FLORIDA Award for Exploring Microgravity 35 minute documentary for students 3-8 * Board of Governors for the National Space Society * 2 Tedx Talks, AWE Inspired Science & How To Inhabit Your Very Own Planet #PlanetYou * Self-Appointed Guardian & Shepherdess of the Next Generation of Space Explorers We do have tickets available for the two venues and they will operate on a first-come-first-served basis.
