How It Works

  1. Instructors or group leaders read to the students an introduction letter written by former NASA astronaut Joe Tanner
  2. Students watch a short, inspirational video highlighting the benefits of exploration on land, in the air, at sea and in space.
  3. Students are asked to imagine their future careers where science, technology, engineering and math are important.
  4. Students create a postcard drawing that depict their dreams for the future (especially with respect to space)
  5. On the back of the postcard the students write a short explanation of why that future is so important and inspiring.
  6. The drawings are sent to the WWOF project office. Collectively these impressions will be used as a symbol promoting continued space exploration. As a whole, the postcards will represent a message from youth across the country and the planet that they want a future with robust space exploration.

The We Want Our Future initiative (WWOF) is proud to announce a new website. Found at http://wewantourfuture.org, the new website provides a more simple and efficient way to learn about the initiative, interact, and get involved.  The new website contains many new features for users. When asked about the new website, initiative webmaster Dan Pastuf said “I’m really excited about our new online submission tool (found at http://wewantourfuture.org/cards/online-submit/), which allows users to create WWOF post simple cards and submit them online”. Other new features include a completely re-designed downloads section, and access to initiative materials in a variety of languages. With a new and re-designed website, the We Want Our Future Initiative hopes to continue changing the future through inspirational and fun activities for students of all ages.
