Out of this World: WVU NASA program helps youth blast off into STEM
In an empty studio room of the Clay Center in Charleston, West Virginia, Princeton Middle School students wriggle neon-colored ropes that coil and arc to the amusement of the youngsters.
It’s not all fun and games, though it looks that way from the smiles and giggles.
The students are getting lessons on gravitational waves and wave frequencies, courtesy of Science Behind the Sport at West Virginia University. It’s just one of many STEM-related activities for students from all across the Mountain State on NASA Day, sponsored by the
NASA West Virginia Space Grant Consortium at WVU.
