Celebrating the Apollo 11 Launch Day! 🚀 🌕 On July 16, 1969, Apollo 11 launched from Cape Kennedy, marking a historic journey to the moon. Today, we honor the astronauts who took that giant leap for mankind, paving the way for advancements in space technology and exploration. Step outside tonight and gaze at the moon, reflecting on humanity's incredible achievements in space. 🌙💫 #ProjectScientist #MoonLanding Here are some interesting facts about the moon landing: - During their Moon walk, Armstrong and Aldrin set up devices to measure the solar wind, receive laser beams from Earth to determine the exact distance between the two bodies, and a seismometer to measure moonquakes and meteor impacts. - They took about 23 kg (50 pounds) of rock and soil samples, took many photographs, and maintained constant communication with mission control in Houston, Texas. - Apollo 11 launched from Cape Kennedy on July 16, 1969, carrying Commander Neil Armstrong, Command Module Pilot Michael Collins, and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin into an initial Earth-orbit of 114 by 116 miles. - Armstrong and Aldrin spent 21 hours, 36 minutes on the moon’s surface.

Happy 4th of July! We are celebrating this momentous day through the hope, joy, and innovation that our students bring us, promising a brighter and more just future for our country and the world. Here's a peek into some of our favorite moments over the past few weeks with Trane Technologies. Our students engaged in hands-on learning activities, including PTC taste tests, fingerprinting, building models of cells and lungs, constructing stethoscopes, and exploring genetics with DNA models and tissue engineering concepts. They also had the opportunity to meet inspiring women in STEM and enjoy exclusive behind-the-scenes tours at Trane Technologies to learn about material testing, integrating biology, genetics, and engineering principles throughout their educational journey. #ProjectScientist #SummerCamp #STEAMEducation #GirlsinSTEM #Partners
