Space Days 2009



Yesterday our entire school got to attend a NASA day long celebration of space and space exploration. Hands-on activities and displays were scattered all over the campus of the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology for kids to experience. Our favorites were probably the portable planetarium, photos from the Hubble Space telescope, the paper airplane contest and the simulation of the Mars Rover vehicles. Did you know there is a "Golden Arches" on the surface of Mars???
Thanks to the sponsorship of NASA, the South Dakota Space Grant Consortium, the Journey Museum and the School of Mines, our kids explored a universe they didn't know much about. Love the logo from the back of Tyler's t-shirt (we all got one)...our South Dakota coyote singing to the stars.

great design - what a good idea. NASA is a cool organization - their website is remarkable in terms of quantity and quality. Love the Hubble stuff.
