Louis stokes,who wanted to raise the limits for his district's children, as well as children nationwide. This vision led to the establishment of the Science, Engineering, Mathematics and Aerospace Academy in 1993. The Academy, developed as a partnership between NASA's Glenn Research Center and Cuyahoga Community College, has grown impressively from a single site to a multi-site organization reaching over 2,000 students participating in programs around the country.
Students explore dressing and traveling in space as they journey to the moon.
Walkers Students explore the sizes, gravity factors and other physical characteristics of the planets as they construct a simulated solar system different from our own. Space Scientists Students explore the concept of microgravity as they record and analyze acceleration environments created by different motion, create a model of how astronauts orbit the Earth and determine the mass of objects using an inertial balance. Busters Students investigate the composition of asteroids, comets and meteors, and their effect on the environmental essentials for human survival in space. Explorers Students explore the living conditions and topographic features of Mars as they operate a remote control vehicle on a simulated Martian surface. Researchers Students further explore the concept of microgravity as they record and analyze candle flame properties in free fall and use vibrating platforms to simulate the motion of atoms as a solid material is heated.
