The Finale-From the 5th Grade Teaching Team


Our last day at Space Camp was wonderful. Campers were able to get in one last ride on Space Shot, G-Force, and the Mars simulator. Team Aldrin (Royal Blue) enjoyed watching Dr. M., Mrs. Haddas, and Ms. Harris shoot into the sky as they rode Space Shot.

Everyone also saw Story Musgrave, one of the main engineers for the Hubble Telescope and a Space Shuttle Commander, as a guest speaker today. He shared many unbelievably beautiful photographs that he has taken over the years. It was an inspirational afternoon.


All the robo teams spent time today preparing for and competing in their final robot competition. The event is off limits for adults so we are all looking forward to congratulating all teams on a job well done.

Space Bowl, which is a quiz game like Jeopardy, takes place this evening before graduation. All teams will get to test themselves to see how much knowledge they have retained from the week.

Graduation is our final activity this evening. Students will get a certificate and pin. Awards for the robo competitions as well as other team awards will be given out at this time.

A very busy end to our very busy and most excellent week! Our expected departure time from Space Camp will be around 10 PM this evening. See you all soon!
