Heading Home!

Mrs. Fortuna is launching in Zero-G.

THE SOLON SPRINGS RGO TEAM.

Solon Springs is on the map! Friday was spent closing up the RGO Experience. All 10 teams had to present an Exit Interview. This presentation had to be shared with the other teams, NASA Education staff, RGO coordinators, and NES representatives. We needed to share who we were, what school we represented, information on our experiment, along with the results of our experiment. The presentation needed to be no longer than 10 minutes. Mrs. Osterhues had quite a bit of fun the night before adding sound bits to our PowerPoint. She will share it with everyone when we get back.


These are some pictures taken by professional cinematographers hired by NASA. They get to fly on all of the flights and document everyone's experience. What about that for a job!?! So far, just our chamber experience and Mrs. Fortuna and Heidi's flight are posted. By next week, Mrs. Osterhues, Mr. Alhberg, and Mrs. Lesneski's flight will be added. You can view all of the pictures on zerog.jsc.nasa.gov. Choose the education link and our pictures should come up. You can right click any to save them on to your desktop.



WOW! Somersaults in the air!


Even though being away for 12 days from family and friends has been difficult, this has been a chance of a lifetime for our school district. Many of the people we have come in contact with have made us realize that with hard work and determination anything can be achieved. Even a small school in Northern Wisconsin can overcome the unknown barriers and make a mark! Our goal is to bring this positive experience back to Solon Springs and have IT make a lasting impact on as many people as possible. Thanks NASA!
