Projects have included stowage lockers for experiments, handrails, documentary videos, breakfast entr\u00e9es and software applications used by astronauts in space. Many of the different projects will be on display starting at 12 p.m. EDT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NASA astronaut Mark Vande Hei will speak to those in attendance at 12:30 p.m. and recognize participating students. Vande Hei logged 168 days in space on his first mission to the station and returned to Earth in February. He regularly connected with schools on Earth during his time aboard.
