In
the summer
of 2002, the NVTC Aerospace Committee approached the Equal Footing Foundation
for help in sponsoring children from Equal Footing Foundation Computer
Clubhouses to attend a week of Space Flight Camp at Wallops
Island, Virginia. At Wallops Island, campers experience what it is
like to soar through space and learn about rocketry, aerodynamics
and robotics.
The Equal Footing Foundation has sponsored eight children from the Computer Clubhouses since that year to attend this exciting and hands-on program. Each child gets to try on astronaut clothing, experience what it feels like in space and learn about the technical side of space travel. This week-long camp has inspired children to reach for the stars, and we encourage our members to sponsor more children for this program.
