Space Camp Adventures 2015

Three students from WPSD were chosen to go to Space Camp for a week in Huntsville, Alabama. Middle school students Rosie and Derek were on Team Calypso, while high school student Nick Bertone was able to be in the Advanced Academy.

They all learned about the history of space travel and the realities of living in outer space. They completed several missions, experienced a variety of simulators and enjoyed some fun rides.

Each team participated in multiple science experiments. One highlight was building and launching their own rockets.

Being in the Advanced Academy meant that Nick was able to go scuba diving and compete in the Aviation Challenge.All of the students seemed to agree that the best part of Space Camp was meeting other Deaf students from around the country.

Out of all of the Advanced Academy students, Nick was chosen for “The Right Stuff” award.

This is an incredible honor, and we are very proud of him!
