Tuesday June 15th

Challenges of the day:
Richard helped us navigate through the NASA website. Specifically showing us how there are AWESOME resources at the click of a button. There is plenty of material for educators and students as well. Felicia also informed us of the students we will be designing a lesson for. It’s very disappointing to hear that kids aren’t exposed to certain material. And then of course there was the presentation of our badges. Coming up with the badge took a bit of time but it was great and let us get to know the members of our team a bit more.♥
Individual achievement:
I’m proud of myself for stepping outside my comfort level, it’s very easy for me to just sit back and watch when opportunities to participate in certain things arise. Because of this I got to spin around on what I will call a spiny thingy and throw squeegee balls for Lorena to catch. Fun!!!!

Delta Positive
Positives:
We took a group picture and then we were able to explore on our own. We went to the visitor’s center and saw some neat stuff. I’m going back to the gift shop to buy some more things for my family, I did however buy some ice cream for my kids.
What needs changed:
So far so good, there’s nothing I can see that needs to be changed. But maybe we should walk to class vs. having Jessica drive. The walk is actually pretty nice and it wouldn’t hurt to get a little exercise, besides it’s only a few blocks away.
Oh Snap!!!

Go Golden Stardust!!!! We have a great team of diverse learners and teachers. I really enjoyed working on our badge the night before and am proud of our results
Coolest thing I learned/heard/saw today:
The visit to future flight central was neat. We were able to visit Mars and also saw an airport that doesn’t even exist yet in Las Vegas. Feels kind of special to see secret information ;) We also learned that the tire for a space shuttle is only used once for safety’s sake. Makes plenty of sense and is also one costly tire (can’t remember how much right now but I’m sure there is plenty of cash taking off to space)
Quote for the day:
