At NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, students from Brevard County Schools gather in the Headquarters Building fourth floor conference room for a presentation about the past, present and future of space exploration during the Brevard Top Scholars event hosted by the Education Office. Speaking to the students is Hortense Diggs, chief of the Education Programs division. At the podium is Kelvin Manning, associate director for Business Operations at the center.

The event was held to honor the top two scholars of the 2012 graduating student class from each of Brevard County’s public high schools. The students toured Launch Complex 39 and the orbiter processing facility, heard from speakers on a variety of topics and received a personalized certificate during their day at Kennedy Space Center.
