HUNCH Recognition Ceremony

HUNCH — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 04:50:08 +0000

The High School Students United with NASA to Create Hardware (HUNCH) program is having its annual Recognition Ceremony on Saturday April 6 from 2:00 – 5:00 PM CT, at the Gilruth Center off of Space Center Boulevard next to Johnson Space Center. The public is invited to join NASA in recognizing the significant contributions of training hardware, softgoods, prototyping, and microgravity experiments that this year’s more than 600 HUNCH students have fabricated.

HUNCH Extreme Science Flight Week

HUNCH — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 04:48:30 +0000

Eight high schools from six different states are participating in the High School Students United with NASA to Create Hardware (HUNCH) Extreme Science Flight Week at Ellington Field, Houston, Texas on April 5-12, 2013. Sixty-four high school students will have the once in the life time experience to fly on the Zero Gravity plane with their microgravity experiments. Their experiments are designed, fabricated and documented by over 200 HUNCH students. HUNCH students’ experiments are proposed to go to the ISS in a 1 unit NanoLab.

HUNCH Extreme Science Symposium

HUNCH — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 04:43:29 +0000

The 3^rd Annual High School Students United with NASA to Create Hardware (HUNCH) Extreme Science Symposium is being webcast by NASA’s Digital Learning Network on May 1 at 10:00 – 12:30 PM Central Time. HUNCH Extreme Science students will be presenting their experimental results from their April, Zero-Gravity flight, which took place in Ellington Field. A distinguished group of NASA and public scientists and engineers will critique the HUNCH students’ experiments, which are proposed to fly on board the International Space Station.

Denver Flight Week Exploratory Meeting

HUNCH — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 02:22:26 +0000

Denver Flight Week Exploratory Meeting at Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum on January 18, 2013

This meeting was help to explore the possibility of bringing the Zero Gravity Plane to the Denver area. The aim of a Denver flight week would be to allow the HUNCH schools in the area to experience a flight week locally with the support of universities and industry.

Thank you all for participating. It is with your support that this project will become a reality.

If you are interested in learning more about this incredible opportunity please contact Flo Gold at 406-690-2661.

Congratulations to HUNCH Microgravity Team at Overland High School, Aurora, CO

HUNCH — Tue, 04 Dec 2012 02:24:13 +0000

The team of students presented two poster sessions about their HUNCH experiments at the 2012 Rocky Mountain Regional American Chemical Society Meeting in Westminster, CO on October 17-20. The student participants were Jacob Donohoue, Cynthia Turcios and Jericho Oviedo. Their mentor Dr. John Frost also presented in the analytical oral session about the HUNCH experiments.

Below is the posters of the “Low pressure distillation in microgravity using commercially available materials as phase separators” that was presented by Jericho Oviedo and the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy in dynamic magnetic environments” that was presented by Jacob Donohoue and Cynthia Turcios.

Camp NASA

HUNCH — Tue, 24 Jul 2012 03:27:39 +0000

Camp NASA has several videos for you to watch. These videos are of actual lessons that students studying to be ISS Flight Controllers attended several years ago. It is really cool that you now can learn from their teachers.

NEW to this HUNCH Website is Camp NASA where you can learn about Mission Control at Johnson Space Center. So come join the fun virtually!
To begin HUNCH students at Warren Tech Computer Animation Class have designed a concentration video game, which challenges you to find the call signs of the ISS Flight Controllers and the words that the call signs stand for. If the ISS Flight Controllers are not familar to you learn more about them in the first lesson posted on the Camp NASA link.
Shortly you will be able to view the lessons that prepare Flight Controllers to maintain the ISS. These videos are taken of the actual classes that future Flight Controller candidates attend. Now you can attend right in your home.
Enjoy and please keeping checking out Camp NASA all summer there will be additional lessons added.
