Space Camp 2014 at the Children’s Museum Tucson offered local second and third graders a chance to experience hands-on scientific experiments. Activities included making comets from dry ice and other ingredients, using liquid nitrogen to make ice cream, launching model rockets and experiencing static electricity using a Van De Graaff generator. 

PSI’s Lindsay Spencer, Steve Kortenkamp and Alice Baldridge participated in the event.
