We're Here!!!! Students Arrive at NASA  Students Selected to Present at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida!  After a visit from Carolyn Hover, a NASA Education Specialist, four students researched and developed a water filter that could be used to recycle water in space. The students then presented their water filter in a virtual student symposium that required them to present their water filter design in a live teleconference with NASA engineers. The students competed against students from across the country for the honor of presenting their project at the NASA Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The students’ presentation was well received and the students have been selected by NASA to present their idea at the NASA Explorer School Student Symposium at the Kennedy Space Center in early May. Two members from the team, along with their teacher, will represent the team in Florida. NASA will be providing all travel accommodations for the students. Congratulations!
