Quest for Space - Intermountain Christian School

This project is out of this world 🚀! Check this out. In STEM, fifth graders coded sounds, pictures, messages, movement and more and sent it to the International Space Station (ISS). The code controls and is displayed through the character BMO (see video).In the videos, notice the floating chips? These are proof of microgravity in the ISS!
This project was the first part of the class’s work with Quest for Space, a company that runs out of Valley Christian School in San Jose. Part II of the project will involve building an experiment in the classroom that tests heat and how it reacts in gravity, on Earth, and in microgravity, in space. Students will receive data here on Earth from ISS explaining how their ideas will succeed or fail in space. Finally, students will each send their completed code to the ISS and run the experiment there to see how heat reacts in microgravity!
