NASA STUDENT
INVOLVEMENT PROGRAM(NSIP)
We are proud to announce that two
Vermont home schooled students have received 1st Place
in the National competition of the (NSIP) NASA Student
Involvement Program,
Aerospace Technology
Engineering Challenge. The competition is for
grades 5-8.
This honor goes to the
students: Alexandre Caillot & Benjamin Turcotte
and their teacher, Mrs. Susan Turcotte
The title of this years competition is "The
American Rocket Scientist TRS".
These students will be attending Space Camp at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center this summer. Recognition was given at the statehouse in the Governor's Press Conference on April 29, 2004 at 1:00pm. Governor James Douglas presented a certificate from the State of Vermont and Laurel C. Zeno of Vermont Space Grant Consortium presented a NASA plaque to each student, the teacher and a Recognition plaque of their scholastic achievements to be placed publicly to encourage others to pursue their goals.
For more information, go to our VT-(NSIP) NASA Student Involvement Program
A new club is forming that has been
initiated by two 11 year old students,
Ben Martin &
Amanda Leffler, who have gone through ACE Camp.
Mark Goudreau, a Drug & Alcohol Abuse Prevention Officer
for the VT National Guard and Laurel C. Zeno of
Vermont Space Grant Consortium are collaborating in the
organization of a Developmental Board to facilitate this
program. The goal is to form clubs in all Vermont
schools with monthly meetings for Grades 4-6. The
students want to offer the opportunity to other students
to become
"Blue Yonder Junior Aviators".
