| Washington, DC – Congressman Bill Shuster is pleased to welcome NASA to Chambersburg this week. NASA’s “Vision for Space Exploration Experience” mobile exhibit will be at the Faust Junior High School from May 14th to May 16th, enabling students and the public to experience what it would be like to travel through space and visit neighboring planets.
“NASA’s mobile exhibit takes the subjects of science and math and translates them into something very accessible and real for the students at Faust,” Shuster said. “We need to invest in technical education to create a new generation of engineers and scientists who will carry America into the 21st Century. To do this, we need to provide our students with a creative spark. This exhibit certainly fits the bill.”
NASA’s visit to Faust Junior High School is the first in a series of stops throughout Pennsylvania and the only stop in the south western part of the state. According to NASA, during the 3 day stop at Faust, a NASA educator will be conducting classroom sessions with 8th and 9th grade Earth Science classes. The Vision for Space Exploration Experience trailer will be open from 8:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. on May 14th and 15th for students, and will re-open to the public from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on May 15th and 16th.
