NoMADS at the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center!
Are you curious about how scientists design projects that are sent to the International Space Station? Starting this month, visitors will have the chance to talk and do activities with a UNH group of researchers who are doing just that!
Team Cooke’s Novel Methods of Antibiotic Discovery in Space (NoMADS) is sending an experiment to the International Space Station through NASA STEM on Station’s Student Payload Opportunity with Citizen Science (SPOCS). Part of their project is to work with students, so they need your help! Students can join the NoMADS Tribe by participating in the program where they will learn about Team Cooke’s experiment in space, see real bacteria on a Petri dish, and engage in hands-on engineering challenges which mimic what the science team is working on in the lab!
Join us the 3rd Saturday of the month between 10:30 am and 1 pm- the first session will be October 16th!
