This course with Dr. Charles Camarda, former NASA Astronaut, enabled a
diverse team of selected HS Students to collaborate and rapidly explore,
discover, learn and solve very complex problems by experimentation and failure
in creating a High Tech Space Suit for exploration on Mars. We investigated the
aspect of engineering critical for program success, which occurs very early in
the problem solution process. It drew from the creative side of the right-brain
hemisphere to conceive innovative solutions to complex, multidisciplinary
problems which allowed us to experience the joy of exploration and discovery.

Shuttle launch in Florida.
