Being an Assistant Scout Master for my boyscout’s troop is a great experience and awesome fun! Now leading them in their STEM-NOVA Award by being their STEM-NOVA Counselor and Supernova Mentor as well.
On Sunday June 26th, 2016, walked the scouts through building their Alpha III rockets, assembling B6-4 engines and launching their assembled rockets in the morning session.
In the afternoon session, spoke to them about space exploration and robotic missions; looked at their battery, solar and wind powered vehicles!
An amazing job by the scouts! A Sunday well spent.
Sharing some pictures from the funfilled STEM-NOVA day!

Great conversation with the scouts about ISS, NASA’s rover missions and a lot of other space facts!
They were really into the space exploration conversation!
