VICKSBURG, Miss. (VDN<\/a>)\u00a0<\/strong>\u2014\u00a0The Southern Heritage Air Foundation situated just over the state line in Louisiana hosted the Traveling NASA Training Camp last week.
The local camp had 40 campers attend and the Traveling Camp saw over 200 campers through out the week between the camp hours of 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.
The campers learned a variety of skills though the event focusing on STEM and encouraging a love of learning science. The learned to build and test their own stomp rockets and then determined why it did or
didn’t work making adjustments accordingly.
They also learned how to create their own paper maze using marbles. Again they used basic scientific principles to make their creations a success.
Campers even built an Orion Spacecraft from styrofoam cups, added a parachute, weights and heat shield. They tested their spacecrafts to see if it would drop or if the parachute would deploy. They did this after watching videos from the Artemis II crew, and Victor Glover, Artemis II Pilot, discuss how re-entering Earth’s atmosphere occurred at a high rate of speed, like a ball on fire, and the importance of the Orion Spacecraft’s parachute deploying in proper sequence to secure a safe water landing for the crew.
Additionally, the campers learned about circuitry and how to wire it so a light bulb would turn on with a switch.
