Well, the 2009 session of International Space Camp has
come to a close. I’m sure students and teachers
alike had a wonderful time and are on their way back to
their home countries with some great memories and new
friends.
Continuing with footage from the opening ceremony, Austrian teacher Philipp Schindegger and students Clea Kline and Stephan Pehr gave a nice overview of their wonderful country and, despite some technical difficulties with the music, danced quite well.
Enjoy!

ASSEC - Board Seats Available

Space & Rocket Center News
Alabama’s current governor, Bob Riley, is
currently soliciting applications and recommendations
for those that want to serve on or recommend someone to
serve on a number of state agency boards, the Alabama
Space Science Exhibit Commission amongst them.
The Alabama Space Science Exhibit Commission is the state owned organization that operates the U.S. Space & Rocket Center.
Like any company, even a state run nonprofit, the Alabama Space Science Exhibit Commission has a board of directors. Unlike a typical corporate board, members to the ASSEC are appointed by the governor of the state of Alabama for a set term.
Ten of the eighteen commission members’ terms are set to expire on October 1 of this year.
So if you feel like you’d make a good addition to the board, or know someone who would, you can go fill out an application at:

Another of my favorites from this year’s
International Space Camp opening ceremony was Norway.
In this video, Teacher Lodve Brastad and students Karn Kjerstad and Andreas Rosholt of Norway display their fine dancing, instrumental, and acrobatic skills in this very entertaining introduction.

Switzerland - ISC 2009 Opening Ceremony

The International Space Camp participants all performed
wonderfully at the Opening Ceremonies for International
Space Camp 2009 that was held yesterday evening.
Over the course of the next week, while the kids and teachers enjoy their week at Space Camp, I’ll be posting some of my favorite performances from the Opening Ceremony.
First off is probably my favorite from the evening.
Teacher Barbara Burtscher and her student, Stefanie Lang, gave a funny performance. Barbara had a slice of Swiss Cheese on her head after all! That alone deserves some credit!
Enjoy!

No doubt the fine staff of Space Camp and the U.S. Space & Rocket Center are working hard to make sure International Space Camp goes off without a hitch and is an experience our international friends won’t soon forget!
The International Space Camp Opening Ceremony has to be, by far, one of my most favorite things.
The Opening Ceremony is scheduled for 5pm in the Davidson Center theater.
Each year, the students and teachers from each country spend a few minutes to introduce the audience to their place of origin. The presentations are always educational and are often truly quite funny!
I can’t wait to see what this year’s groups have in store!
Keep checking back as I’ll once again post my favorite countries’ presentations!
