Craig
Napier
Science |
|
Craig
won a place at the Scottish Space Camp which twice a
year takes a group of S5 pupils from schools in
Scotland to the world-famous NASA base in Houston,
Texas. Students must beat off a lot of competition
to gain a place on the camp, and once there, spend a
hectic week on space related activities. It's an
exhausting week ... and a wonderful introduction to
real-world science! |
