NASA has a very large water tank which is used to train the astronauts for the missions they will be performing in space. Working in water mimics the weightless environment of space. The high school aged campers are able to scuba dive in a smaller tank replica at Space Camp. My team did not scuba dive, but they were able to experience the upper level of the tank.
Teams of 4 or 5 campers were selected. Each team was required to gather piping from the water and quickly construct a cube-shaped structure.
The boy's team were the first group into the water.
With outstanding teamwork, the cube was completed in 1 minute 37 seconds. This was the best time of the day!
Next, the girls took a shot at the challenge.
They too completed the task, taking only seconds longer than the boys.
Looks like a great time, Linda! So glad you had this experience! xo
