NASA Astro Camp connects youth to science missions, exploration and last updated 2021-07-13 22:14:31-04 Young people in Acadiana are learning about and exploring astrophysics, earth science, planetary science, and more in an out of this world summer camp being held in Youngsville. NASA Astro Camp is currently taking place at schools in Lafayette, Vermilion, and St. Landry Parishes, and includes all the latest resources used by NASA. The camp is a collaboration between the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, the Lafayette Parish School System, and various other area school districts. It's being taught by UL students trained for the 'Stem-ulating Summer' initiative, and it provides kids with a connection and access to NASA that they might not otherwise get. Students engage in activities designed by NASA that help them "train like an astronaut."
