Workshop for Middle School Students and Teachers
How healthy and fit are you for life on Earth and in Space?
The science of fitness and nutrition for aspiring astronauts.
This workshop is focused on the physical training that Astronauts undergo before space missions. Students will learn about what kind of activities astronauts perform while on the International Space Station, about space nutrition and space environment.
What happens to your body when you work out? Let’s find out how your heart rate changes and why! Teachers and students will try first-hand training activities on upper and lower body strength; the last activity of the day will be about nutrition and the rules for balanced eating habits.
