Be part of NASA Ames's new experiment in volunteer science - T here are many scientific tasks that require human perception and common sense, but may not require a lot of scientific training. Identifying craters on Mars is something almost anyone can do, and classifying them by age is only a little harder. This an experiment to see if public volunteers, each working for a few minutes here and there, can do some routine science analysis that would normally be done by a scientist or graduate student working for months on end. Activities include simulated Space Shuttle missions, IMAX movies, training simulators, rocket building and launches, scientific experiments, and lectures on the past, present and future of space exploration. Kids must be already attending 4th grade and be at least 9 years old.
Programs are available in Alabama, California, and Florida.
Rocket Camp - a day camp program offered in conjunction with the Wickman Spacecraft and Propulsion Company, in Casper, Wyoming.
