ISGC Staff attended the Iowa State Homecoming Kickoff Celebration last Sunday, October 30th and interacted with youth and adults attending the event, sharing all about STEM and NASA.
Special thanks for Iowa State University President Wendy Wintersteen and Dean Laura Jolly for coming to visit ISGC as well.
Assistant ISGC Director Matthew Nelson and the M:2:I Laboratory demonstrated how to prepare a High Altitude Balloon for launch, and then sent it up in the air for all of the celebration to see. Many youth dressed up as astronauts and launched straw rockets while learning about trajectory and aerodynamic concepts.
Thank you to everyone for coming to visit our booth! Happy Homecoming!
