Because the International Space Station embodies 21st-century values of global cooperation
and collaboration, the ISS National Laboratory is a unique resource for promoting international understandings and for cultivating youth as emerging leaders of a global society. It provides opportunities for the youth to investigate significant, real-world issues; to communicate with inspiring NASA ISS role models; and to practice applying the 21st-century global competencies they need to invent the future.
