AT NASA Shaivi asks Vanessa Wyche eight questions.

My favorite TFK assignment was to meet and interview the director of NASA’s Johnson Space Center, Vanessa Wyche. It was an incredible opportunity. And it was exciting to see my article about Ms. Wyche in print. I would recommend the incredible TFK Kid Reporter program to all aspiring young journalists.

BIG SCREEN Aiden meets Ryan White and Jessica Hargrave.

My experience as a TFK reporter has been fun and very exciting. My favorite assignment was covering the release of the documentary Good Night Oppy, when I attended a red-carpet event. I got to meet NASA engineers and see the movie’s premiere.

GAMETIME Shaan interviews Rubik’s Cube inventor Ernö Rubik.

I have loved being a TFK Kid Reporter. I’ve had the opportunity to write articles, interview a legendary person, and record audio clips for podcasts. My experience has inspired me to become an investigative reporter who works to change the world with truth and transparency.

PRESS PASS Zarita attends an event featuring retired astronaut Scott Kelly.

Being a TFK Kid Reporter has led me on an inspiring journey through others’ stories. Book reports have been my favorite assignments because I got previews of great books that hadn’t been released yet and heard directly from authors about their dazzling tales.
