No Boundaries at Kennedy
Team members Julie Iuliano, Jean Xin and Tatiana Barry visited various facilities, including Launch Pad 39A where space shuttle Atlantis was awaiting liftoff, and the Space Station Processing Facility where station components are prepared for launch.
The team and its sponsoring teacher, Dr. Jean Weaver, had an opportunity to present their award-winning project to NASA staff. The group, from Prairie School in Racine, Wis., topped a field of 151 entries representing more than 500 students. Their winning research project on astrobiology included the creation of a Web site. The top award carried with it a $2,000 prize.
No Boundaries, a USA TODAY education initiative in collaboration with NASA, encourages students to explore careers in science, technology, engineering and math.
