The first day of the goddard girls was fun. We got to make a moon habitat and work together with a group as a team. It was great and fun because it taught me how to work as a team. Also I learned, although if you dont like someone, you have to treat them how you want to be treated no matter what. And, there will always be a person that you wont get along with, and you have to deal with it.
On August 4 the Goddard Girls went to the stem lab to do an activity. Once we were there, we went over what a CEV is. A CEV is a crew exploration vehicle. The adults handed out packets that guided us to make a model of a CEV. There were requirements, like tanks of oxygen, water and food. They split us up into groups and were sent off to design our CEV. We first had to draw the vehicle and plan where we are going to put everything. After the group completed that task, they were able to start on the real model. There were a variety of materials there for all of us to use. My group...
Yesterday, we went to the stem lab and built CEV, or crew exploration vehicles. We split up into groups and used recyclable items to create CEV prototypes. Wer used an old Tide bottle and a few other plastic items on the outside. On the inside, we used cardboard as a main furniture source! To tell the truth, our group failed miserably! Well, not miserably, but it didn't quite turn out how we thought it would!For lunch we had pizza and cookies. Definetely better than a sandwich! Then someone came up with thwe idea of blowing up gloves as balloons! Of course, everyone had to make one! Then,...
today we went to one of the teachers worrks and we had to makeing veachals aand it is cald CEVS becas cru exploration veachals it was riily fun because you could make a space ship for the astronots and at the same time you can be modoling the in sid of it it was really really fun nyou shuld go to girls ink it is rilly fun
Today we came to camp and went almost immediately to the stem lab. That is where we do experiments and build things. TOday we were supposed to do this program called leg up. This was supposed to simulat what it was like for the inside of your body to have no gravity and where on your body would be thinner and fatter. First we measured three different places on our legs the ankle calf, and thigh. Then we stood still for ten minutes and saw how that affected the measurments. After that we layed in a reclined position for ten minutes and wrote all the Data in a graph. WE had another activity...
Well,yesterday we did CEV's. For the Goddard girls they had to build and design their Crew Exploration Vechiles from scratch. But luckily for my group since I was a Da Vinci Diva. I decided to make it easiler for my group and choosed to remodel my CEV because in my case I thought that it would save more time. But also then I could help the ones that arent done or ones that need help.And I also was lucky to have such a easy going team we finished our CEV with hours left. Though sadly when everyone was done 1 of the Booster's fell off but I said to myself " no problem a little glue would do...
Today, I went to MIT.There I learned about what happens to the muscles when you go up ionto space, what happens is the muscle age ten times faster. This is a problem because the muscles weaken to fast. After, I learned about how MIT is working on a new space suit to help the astronauts move around better, and be safer. The astronauts can move around better beacuse the material is more flexible, unlike the suits we have now. The safer part about this new spacesuit is if the suit gets a hole in it the person who wears it will only get bruises. But, the spacesuits we have now get a rip, the...
Dear Blog,
Today was very interesting. I went to M.I.T.It took an hour And a half to get there.First we talked to this science guy who showed us this spinney thing that if you closed your eyes, you woulden't feel like your spinning. Also i met a new friend named Jakie.we hade lunch at Subway,Then we went to this Moonwalk thing.also i saw a robot and it was 1 of the 2 in the world! bye!

Well my started off with a bus ride to MIT. That's the college in Boston that works with NASA. A man whose name I don't recall showed us into one of the labs there. He talked about what MIT does as research and stuff like that. I also learned about how gravity keeps your bones and everything in check so if you go up in space it would mess up the balance in your body. They also explain to us about the space suit and its challenges. They also showed us new designs of a new space suit which seemed pretty cool. They also had a moonwalker that makess you feel like your walking on space and...
