Space Camp 2012: Space Camp Olympics

I love how the camp is designed for kids and it allows them to learn as they go. The teams took part in Space Camp Olympics. One activity was done in a relay style where each participant had to go down to the end of the track and retrieve one piece of equipment that an astronaut would need. Once they had collected all of these pieces of equipment, then the next team member was to put on the equipment and gather 2 pieces of space debris that was "floating out in space." They would return with these pieces and give the next team member the equipment and they were to put it on and retrieve 2 more pieces of debris. They continued in this manner until all debris had been collected. The team collecting the most debris won. This was a great demonstration of how important teamwork is to successfully accomplish a mission.

(I'm not going to narrate the next pictures, except to identify team members. I am going to see if you can guess what was equipment and what was debris.)
