Space Camp Year 1

So the journey began. In June of 2006, I attended my first space camp experience. The experience was one of a lifetime. I was completely emerged in the history of flight, the history of NASA, and the projected future of Space exploration. To the right, click the link “Mr. Rand Goes to Space Camp” to see my first trip to camp. I instantly knew that I would in some way need to get my students involved with what I had learned. Providing the student’s hands on learning and showing how it related to the “real world” and how what they are learning is going to impact their lives is important to me. Showing them that science, math and technology are exciting and challenging careers is the pure joy of being a teacher. Being the one that can provide the opportunities for students is exciting and I do hope that I can inspire my students to enter this field.
