Noah’s Space Camp Dreams

Hi, I’m Noah and I’m 10 years old. I attended Spaceport Indiana’s Space Camp this
summer. It was amazing and a really good way to get a good look at cool science. We did
everything from building a Lunar Lander to launching a balloon into the edge of space. It
was so cool! We learned about rockets by building examples from milk cartons and then
seeing a launch too.
One really cool thing was learning about Ham radio. It takes some time to figure out how to
contact somebody but you can talk to people from around the world. You can even talk to
the International Space Station. You need a license to do it but if you can read and pass the
test you can get a license.
We learned a lot about the three most important people in science. Galileo, Newton and
Bernoulli. These three people are important to the way we understand a lot about science.
Bernoulli explained air density and Newton was the person who explained gravity. We used
telescopes to see stars like the one I have at home and learned about Galileo.
Space Camp was a great time and I have gone the last 3 years. I plan on going again next
year too. I learned a lot about science and now I can try experiments at home that are fun
too (As long as my Mom is with me). See you at Space Camp!
