Houston with #NASAMgUE - Amazing!!

Our team traveled to Houston on April 9, 2017. We left Boise early in the morning and hit the ground running at the hotel joining right into the afternoon activities.

Houston, we're landing!

Making our way to the hotel

The learning begins right away with activities about bone density

We went to Johnson Space Center the following morning. Everyone was glued to the windows of the van as we pulled onto campus. We went straight to Building 9 to continue the learning process.

i-Nerds of Martian Gravity - Day 1

Mockup Facility

Lots of photo opportunities to start the day

There is much more to come, but I am swamped with the end of the school year and several other projects. I will continue to post as I have time. Basically, I encourage any team interested in applying for the Microgravity University for Educators program. It was absolutely amazing! I would apply again in a heartbeat. Check the following website to see when new proposals are being accepted.
