Fourth graders had a great time learning about what it means to "have the right stuff" as well as the opportunity cost associated with having the job of astronaut. They also enjoyed rocketry experiments (see below).
NPE is looking for ten 4th/5th graders to work with teachers and students to advance technology throughout the school. This is year-long commitment from 7:10 - 7:40 every morning. If you are on morning safety patrol and are selected to be on the SWAT team, you will be moved to afternoon safety patrol.

Finally, if your child has not yet submitted a question to ask an astronaut, now is the time to do this. The deadline for asking questions is October 2nd. To learn more about the event, as well as the Station and the work being done there, visit https://talktotheiss.weebly.com
