This is just too cool!
The students of the Program for Gifted Learners at St. Emily School in Nepean, Ontario, ordered some crickets from Entomo Farms back in February of this year, for a specific program entitled, “Cubes in Space“. Cubes in Space is a challenge for students all around the world to design an experiment that will fit in a 4x4x4cm cube and will travel to space for the launch. Cubes in Space is also a good opportunity to learn about space and rocket science. The students submitted proposals for a science experiment that would have the crickets travel to near space on a sounding rocket from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, USA, or via on a high altitude balloon launched from the Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility at Fort Sumner, NM.
To Infinity, and beyond! 🙂
