Last Saturday BSU had a big kids Engineer Day. They had alot of things for the kids to do. We got there a little late so we didn't do alot of things, but we did get to hear Barbara Morgan (the first teacher in Space) talk about her experience in space in 2007. It was really cool to listen to all the things that happened in space. She had some really cool pictures too!
Barbara Morgan!
Space shuttle Endeaver with some of the people that made it possible.
The International Space Station in 2007. More has been added since then. It's roughly the size of 2 football fields.
Water and M&M's floating in space.
Picture of the earth from the space shuttle.Courtney and I ended up winning Basil seeds that flew in space. How cool is that! This is a picture of Courtney picking up her seeds from Barbara.
Megan and Courtney also got to ride a Segway. They thought that was pretty cool!
The last thing they did was learn about buildings and motion using Jenga blocks.
All in all we all had a great time learning about Engineering and the best part was that it was all FREE!!! Can't beat that.

Sounds like it was a lot of fun and what great informative hands on stuff for the kids! You really should get one of those Segways for your kids to ride on. Then you wouldn't have to pick up Megan from school!
That is so cool! Love free fun educational stuff!
