I'm going to Space Camp!
In two weeks I will leave fly to Huntsville Alabama for a week at Space Camp. The trip is sponsored by the North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching (NCCAT). First, a little bit about myself.
I'm a technology facilitator for Elementary schools in Lincoln County. Many of you may have met me this year as I worked with your teachers to bring more technology into your classrooms. Some of you may not have met me yet.
I love to use technology to learn about the world. I spend a lot of time reading about interesting things on the Internet and sometimes playing video games.
I have been interested in Astronomy and Space since I was in elementary school. I love reading about space travel, both real and imaginary.
I'm looking forward to space camp. From what I have read there are a lot of really cool things. I'm really looking forward to using microgravity simulators any maybe even flying the space shuttle on a simulated mission!
I'll post more as we get closer to the date. When I'm at Space Camp I plan to post daily. I may even be able to post videos and pictures from my experiences. I hope you will follow along!

Wow that looks like a lifetime experience. Though an ordinary man like me can't go to space for real, yet experiencing the same thrill on earth is definitely worth an attempt! In fact your post cleared a lot of my doubt about sending my son to a Space Camp. My son in crazy about space and also does put in a lot of effort to keep himself updated on the subject. Recently he read about the Space Camp which takes kids to US Space and Rocket Centre, Huntsville, Alabama, and desperately wants to enroll himself. While i checked out the website http://spacecampindia.com/ and found it quite credible, I was still bit apprehensive about the whole stuff. After all its a bit difficult to let a 14-year-old make a foreign trip all by himself! However, on reading this post I must admit that Space Camp will be a great experience for my kid and I shouldn't let him miss it ... Thanx for the post!
