To Infinity, and Beyond!
Hesperia Junior High's AVID class took their first trip this year to the
NASA JPL Laboratory. Students were given a rare and exclusive tour
of the facilities. NASA scientists were hard at work preparing for the future
launch of the Mars rover in 2020. This rover will be looking for life on Mars.
Students were able to observe scientists hard at work and even interacted with scientists
who readily answered their questions. AVID students toured the labs and got an eye-opening
experience on how life at the NASA laboratories works. This inspiring experience
motivated students to participate in the Name Nasa's Next Mars Rover contest.
(You will be able to hear some of our AVID students' essay submissions soon)!
Our AVID students and teachers would like to thank our beloved science teacher,
Mrs. Nealey, for making this trip possible! She went above and beyond
to secure spots for our students so that they could partake in this rare experience.
In the future, we hope to see some of our students who were inspired by this visit
to be scientists or astronauts who are a part of NASA's historic space missions!
