HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – Sofia Sadowski traveled nearly 7,000 miles to spend a week at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center Space Camp. The 9-year-old, whose parents reside at U.S. Army Garrison Kwajalein Atoll, Republic of the Marshall Islands, is one of 20 9- to 11-year-old students who trained like an astronaut, July 2-7, thanks to Space Camp scholarships.
Sofia had a hard time naming her favorite part of the camp.
“I liked building rockets and doing cool simulators,” she said. “I also got to do some experiments like making slime.”
But the best part she said, was the 1/6th gravity chair where campers got to feel what it is like to walk on the moon.
The scholarships, awarded by the Air, Space, and Missile Defense Association and the Air Defense Artillery Association, gave the awardees an opportunity to learn teamwork and leadership skills while applying science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
