Thanks to partial funding from SMMEF, students at Lincoln Middle School have spent this year researching and designing experiments for the interdisciplinary Student Spaceflight Experiments Program. Now, a team from Lincoln has been selected to have their experiment conducted in space! Samuel Buckley-Bonanno, Adam Chamas, Charlie Gooding and Shrayes Raman designed a paper chromatography experiment that will be launched to the International Space Station in late June. Lincoln also conducted a district-wide design contest for two patches to accompany the project. Chosen by a panel of teachers, Grant Elementary School student Tatum Meyer, as well as Alisa Boardman from Lincoln, will have their designs sent to space along with the experiment!
