sky camp day 4

After rescuing Truman from his seat belt, we arrived in Titusville at the Space View Park, where we had a quick picnic.

We all had pretty much the same reaction when we walked into this museum organized in an old home…what are we possibly going to do here for four hours???

Well, the docents were AMAZING and ENTERTAINING. We learned all kinds of cool stuff about the space program.

Then we learned about some of the NASA Spinoffs/Transfer Technologies. As part of that, we made our own Bristlebots. They were these cute little robot things that were incredibly fun to watch and operate.

Then we learned about the rovers and divided into teams and had rover races.

Finally, we went to the control room where each one had a job to do, and we are pleased to announce that our rocket was successfully launched!

Each of the kids received a commemorative pin with the launch from the year of their birth. They also received key ring discovery coins, astronaut pictures, shuttle pictures and an activity book. Honestly, we all walked out with great big smiles after four hours and a half hours! It was terrific!!!
