| ONE DAY ROCKET CAMP |
|
Join us for a marathon session of rocket building.  Campers will build two great rockets over the course of the day. The Crossfire rocket soars up to 1300 ft, while the Amazon towers over other rockets at 3 ft. tall. Campers enjoy great space games and snacks while learning all about launch safety in the spectacular surroundings of the Challenger Space Center. Every student receives a launch pad and launcher to continue the fun with their families and continue their learning at home.
SATURDAY, JULY 26th 8:30am - 4:30pm
$90.00
Held at Pima Air and Space Museum

| SCIENTIST OF THE MONTH |

 Selman Waksman (July 22, 1888) Through his research on organisms that live in the soil and their decomposition, Dr. Waksman discovered Streptomycin, which was the first effective treatment for Tuberculosis. His research led to the discovery of at least 20 other antibiotics. He even came up with the word "antibiotic".
Dr. Waksman was a professor at Rutgers University for forty years, and the money made on the licensing of his patents established the Waksman Institute of Microbiology at Rutgers. Selman Waksman was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1952. |
