The day at MIT started with an exhausting bus ride to the college. Once we were of the bus, we stretched our tired bodies and enter the building. We had a PHD student guide us throughout the building. He brought us to a room and gave us a short introduction about the college, what he does, and the other programs that are associated with the college. After he was done speaking, he brought us to a room that had a centrifuge in it. The man explained what it was and and the purpose of the machine. We would have been able to go on it, but it was under construction. They were trying to...

Today we took a bus to Cambridge. It took about 45 minutes. Then we went into this building about aerospace adn met these two people. The were both scientists. One was named Brad and he brought us into his lab which was the Motor Vehicle lab. He shwed us a lot of cool machines. He Showed us a centrifuge which was this platform where a person layed down and spun around the center of rotation. We learned about the inner ear and the liquids inside it. Then we went in the other part of the lab and Brad talked to us about space. He told us space suits are very hard to move in and he showed us...

      We spent a day at MIT today. It was slow paced at first when we had to take a hour long bus ride to get there. Then, We waited and listened to a lecture/discussion all about space suits and attempts to modernize them. The day drastically inmproved when we were able to go on the moon walker. A simple contraction made of pulleys, a battery, a metal support, and wiring. The moon walker makes you lighter by hooking you onto the device. Then, you walk, hop, and run on the treadmill beneath it. WARNING!!! The moon walker can give wedgie/rashes as my fried puts it.

Today was the first day of Goddard Girls. At first, it was really quiet beacause only the Davinci Divas knew each other, but then everyone started to talk and it became more lively. We first talked space and what NASA is. Then we moved on to our first activity and tried to survive in Jamestown with our groups. Then we went to the STEM lab and tried to survive on the moon in 2025. Next we built moon habitats. It was a lot of work, but it was really fun in the end when we put them all together. And we all had our pedometers today. Some girls got up to 2000 steps, but I only got about 1097. I...

Today we learned a lot about survival. We even did survival activities of back then and the future. I learned that one of the most important items for survival is oxygen, food and water. Without any of these things you probably wouldn't be able to survive. We also went to the stem lab and built moon habitats. We learned that moon habitats are for humans when they land on the moon. The moon habitats that we built today were made out of newspaper but some of them were very sturdy and firm and some -my group's included- were kind of flimsy and they were hard to stay put.After each individual...
