Hosted by Academy at the Farm, a local charter school, the event aims to inspire students by linking classroom learning to real-world space exploration. The school has invited students and their families to participate in the event, which will feature Ayers responding to pre-recorded questions submitted by students. Media interested in attending the event in person must RSVP by Wednesday, April 9.

Ayers currently serves as the pilot for NASA’s SpaceX Crew-10 mission. The event underscores NASA’s ongoing efforts to engage the public, particularly young students, with the agency’s work aboard the space station. For more than two decades, astronauts have conducted scientific research, tested technology, and refined skills needed for future missions beyond Earth’s orbit.
