THE JASON PROJECT
This sounds pretty cool. A scientific foundation sponsors an expedition each summer which is broadcast live to schools around the world. This year twleve students (including one HEK) were able to go exploring in AZ’s Meteor Crater. The trip seems to have made a big impression on Anna Dykhoff:
BECAUSE THIS YEAR’S theme for the expeditions is for students to explore the latest Mars research, Anna has found herself leaning toward pursuing a career as an astro-geologist with NASA.
“When kids are younger they always say they want to be an astronaut,” she said. “But I never wanted to be one because they have to eat bad food and being in space for a long time can be bad for your muscles. But, I love astrology and I have always wanted a job with NASA.”
I hope that astrology bit is a mistake by the reporter. Please let it be the reporter.

We are participating in the Jason (Mars) Project this year and really enjoying it so far! I am the science degreed one in the family, but my DH has been having as much fun, if not more, doing the various projects with our DD and other homeschooling buddies. This week we build rockets – can’t wait! |
