Pushing Over: A Film by Suzanne Jurva

Empowering Teachers through Bold Challenges

Pushing Over captures the journey of educators and students in the Space for Teachers Embedded Teacher Program as they step into weightlessness to conduct real microgravity research. Set aboard the Zero-G aircraft, the film highlights the power of opportunity, mentorship, and perseverance, showing how access to meaningful research  can transform classrooms and open doors to futures in STEM.

Suzanne Jurva is an award-winning filmmaker and producer known for her impactful work in documentary and narrative storytelling. A former executive at DreamWorks, she supervised and lead story development and research on: Amistad, Gladiator, Saving Private Ryan, Minority Report, and Prince of Egypt, among others.  As a director and producer, Jurva has focused on projects that explore themes of resilience, community and reflection. 

Don Pettit conducts the first FASTLab on the ISS: Freezing and Melting Fronts in Microgravity

programs and resources

Embedded Teacher Zero-G Flight Program

Embedded Teacher Zero-G Flight Program

Embedded Teacher Zero-G Flight Program

Fly student research in microgravity onboard the Zero-G parabolic aircraft.  This is an immersive experience, where the teacher meets with flight mentors weekly on an industry-aligned project. Student designed, built, and tested. Teacher flown. 

ISS FASTLab

Embedded Teacher Zero-G Flight Program

Embedded Teacher Zero-G Flight Program

Using materials available onboard the ISS, teachers propose student-designed experiments that a crew member performs onboard the International Space Station.  Videos are returned to classrooms for post-flight analysis. No launch required. 

Pocket Payload

NASA SEES Student Flight Teams

NASA SEES Student Flight Teams

The SfT Pocket Payload program supplies classrooms and organizations across the U.S. with seed and other passive payload flown in microgravity on parabolic and suborbital flight for post-flight research projects.

By partnering with the Space for Teachers, SEES offers a competitive selection process to fly four students and their research in microgravity onboard a parabolic aircraft. Students meet with SfT mentors weekly on industry standard design review and payload integration. 

ZQube Platform

Educator Workshops

Educator Workshops

he ZQ is a palm-sized laboratory that can be used for sensor data acquisition, basic kinematics and dynamics, and observations of fluids and granular materials in microgravity.  The applications are limited only by student creativity.
