Many Baltimore and DC area professionals have offered their time, skills, and passion to make STEM Unbound a success.

Astronaut Don Thomas

STEM Unbound is thrilled to have retired astronaut Don Thomas join us for this event. A veteran of four flights, Dr. Thomas has spent 44 days in space and orbited the Earth nearly 700 times. Today, he is helping to inform and excite the public about our future in space and preparing our next generation of scientists, engineers, and explorers for their missions in the future.

Astronaut Reid Wiseman

Baltimore County native Reid Wiseman will provide a special video message for the students attending STEM Unbound. Astronaut Wiseman has been selected as Commander of the upcoming Artemis II mission to the moon and previously spent 165 days in space as a flight engineer aboard the International Station for Expedition 41 in 2014.
