Children learn STEM at NASA Stennis

An image from March 15, 2014, shows students enjoying a hands-on activity during a one-day Astro Camp conducted at NASA’s Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. Children, ages 7-12, visited INFINITY Science Center, the official visitor center of NASA Stennis, to participate in the Spaced Out Sports Camp. Activities focused on Newton’s Three Laws of Motion and included exercises in which campers built and launched javelin rockets and prototype helmets for egg “astronauts” and learned about life aboard the International Space Station. All activities were designed to encourage student interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
