Well, thanks, Jennifer. I'm visiting a space science academy, which is being held at Ian 00:00:00
Dears Elementary School in Washington, D.C. This is a SEMA school. That stands for Science, 00:00:07
Engineering, Mathematics, Aerospace Academy. It is an enrichment program that runs on weekends 00:00:13
and in the summer and targets math, science, and technology. Its partner school is located 00:00:17
in Cleveland, Ohio, Orchard Elementary School. In just a minute, we'll hear from a couple 00:00:22
of these science campers as they demonstrate an interactive simulation software product 00:00:27
called BoilSim. That's a special software created just for students by the Learning 00:00:31
Technologies Project at NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio. Now, if you look 00:00:36
just behind me, you'll see a flight demonstration wind tunnel, which some aeronautical engineering 00:00:41
students from the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics student branch at Iowa State 00:00:46
University have brought to share with these younger students and to serve as mentors to 00:00:50
the camp. So you can see, the students here at Dears are getting the opportunity to try 00:00:55
their hand on a number of technology research tools. Let's take a closer look now at one 00:00:59
of those technologies, BoilSim. This is Alan Simmons, a 7th grade student at Beale Junior 00:01:05
High. Using BoilSim, we are able to use technologies like a NASA researcher. We can perform a series 00:01:11
of computer-based wind tunnel tests on a wing using BoilSim. With this simulation, we can 00:01:19
quickly change the position and shape of the wing and modify the airspeed, altitude, and 00:01:25
angle of attack, and then BoilSim calculates the lift for us. We are quickly learning the 00:01:31
factors that influence lifts on an airplane's wing. Here is where we began, at the NASA 00:01:38
Connect website. We were able to get set up by downloading and installing our own copy 00:01:44
of BoilSim on our computer. Anyone can download this simulation and use it at school or at 00:01:50
home. Let me show you how we use BoilSim. We start out by learning about the basic aerodynamic 00:01:57
forces that affect lift. Then we test out our own wing and learn how to generate lift. 00:02:04
You can see how much lift we have generated doing this test right here. After we've tested 00:02:12
and learned about a bunch of different variables that affect lift, we got to work designing 00:02:18
our own wing based on the requirements on the NASA Connect website. The last step is 00:02:23
to create graphs of our experimental data and study them to see what things we can learn. 00:02:30
Jennifer, I think you would agree that these campers have given us some interesting highlights 00:02:36
on how they are using technology to conduct experiments. A question for our viewers to 00:02:40
think about is, what is the relationship between scientific inquiry and technology? Let me 00:02:45
add, Jennifer, that our viewers are invited to try their hand with BoilSim by visiting 00:02:51
the NASA Connect website. They will also find links to Fid's Corner, where they will design 00:02:56
and test paper airplane models, to a site about how wind tunnels are being used to improve 00:03:01
NASCAR performance, and to information about NASA Connect online chats. There's also a 00:03:05
career corner that features some of our program partners talking about their jobs. Well, I'm 00:03:12
Shelley Canright reporting from Ann Dears Elementary School in Washington, D.C. Back 00:03:16
to you, Jennifer. 00:03:21
