UTSI Hosts Science Camp

The University of Tennessee Space Institute recently hosted the annual UTSI Science Camp for fourth and fifth graders. Local students enjoyed a week of exciting experiments such as creating their own ice crystals, rain gauges, and kaleidoscopes, growing snow, and studying the structure of bubbles. A new adventure awaited these young scholars each day of camp, including even more scientific fun provided by the Hands-On Science Center. The week ended with a bang as students put their collective feet down sending “stomp rockets” sailing into the sky.  Shown above in the back row, left to right, are North Junior High School teacher Diane Gipson, UTSI Summer Intern Kelly Carter, Campers Mary-Cate Hedge, Savannah Gray, Mary Mitchell, Amelia Wydell, Summer Intern Ellen Bomar, Campers Courtney Hale, Will Holder, Micah Hauge, Austin Burton, Trevor Suddarth, Summer Intern Dan Krywaruczenko, Camper Jay Hedge, and Summer Intern Marie Jarvis. Campers shown in the front row are Clayanna Brandon, Rachel Flatt, Colby Wilkerson, Luke Garner, Dawson Meeks, Donny Rung, and Jacob Oliver.
