Back in 2005, Coeur d'Alene Charter Academy teacher Jean Robinson and a trio of students from across the United States and Mexico had the opportunity to work with Dr. Kobie Boykins, a mechanical engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) in Pasadena, CA, and NASA's current spokesman for the Space Program. They were selected through National Geographic's JASON Project which takes a team of teachers and students somewhere in the world to work with research scientists. Jean was pleased to be able to connect again with Dr. Boykins when he was in Spokane, WA, recently as part of National Geographic's "Live!" Speakers' tour. Boykins designed the solar array for the Spirit and Opportunity rovers which were designed to last for a 90 day mission.
