Many months ago, I posted an invitation here, “So you wanna go to Space Camp?” and through the power of social media, it happened. Thanks to some awesome teachers who wrote me and agreed to join me in the trip, we’re in Huntsville this weekend, enjoying a 3-day Pathfinder program. Tomorrow morning we’re visiting the Educator Resource Center and then checking in at Space Camp. Being a connected educator is so rewarding… and when you get to connect with others and share and adventure in STEM? That is the icing on the cake! I’m looking forward to a fun weekend with fellow educators who share a passion for teaching, learning, and are about to be inspired by SPACE CAMP.
Twas the night before Space Camp, and all through Huntsville,
the teachers were arriving and ready for thrills…
The rockets were glowing in the darkness of night,
waiting for a few more to arrive on their flight.
With flight suits prepared and cameras charged for the day,
we tried to sleep but there was no way…
When out of the moon, there arose such a clatter,
one small step for man, it was an inspiring matter…
The footprints still there, deep in the dust,
to remind us all that STEM is a must…
So you’ll hear us all say, as its not just a whim,
our goal with our kids is inspiring them.
And we’ll all exclaim as we fly out of sight,
‘Happy Space Camp to all, and to all a good flight!’
