I was lucky enough to participate in one of these "educational programs". When I was in 6th grade I was selected to learn HAM radio and ask a question to the astronauts aboard STS-93. The program was called "Shuttle Amateur Radio Experiment" (SAREX). Long live SAREX!

Not OP, but every kid asks how they poop in space. It's sort of a joke among the astronauts.
