Solar System Ambassadors
Jennie King
Jennie “Starstuff” King is a graduate of the University of Virginia’s astronomy program. While studying astronomy and physics, she discovered her deep love of science education through work with elementary school students. As a high school AP Physics and Engineering teacher in Colorado, she brought her love of space exploration to the classroom. Jennie became a NASA-JPL Solar System Ambassador in order to encourage others to explore the wonders of the cosmos with their hearts, minds and imaginations. In addition to volunteering with NASA, Jennie now works as the Manager of Educator Programs at Science World, a role which allows her to continue sparking scientific curiosity and a love of STEAM learning. Jennie is excited to host or collaborate on events focusing on a range of scientific topics and NASA milestones, either in-person or virtually.
