iLEAD Antelope Valley Studio Learners Load Experiment Headed for ISS
On October 12, 2023, our learners on DreamUp Launch Team Aloe Vera loaded their Mixstix with their groundbreaking experiment. One Mixstix will stay grounded here on Earth, while the other is destined for the International Space Station on November 3! Our learners are excited to learn the answer to their question: “What is the effect of microgravity on the germination of aloe vera seeds?”
This is authentic STEM learning at its finest!
We’re incredibly grateful for this opportunity, and we’d like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Principal Facilitator Kaitlyn Reed, iLEAD Student Aerospace Projects, DreamUp, Nanoracks, and Space Station Explorers for making this journey possible.
You can learn more about our team’s mission here.
Stay tuned for updates and invitations to future missions, and join us in supporting the next generation of scientific pioneers!
