Page 2 Spilyay Tymoo, Warm Springs, Oregon NASA rocket launch at Warm Springs Academy The last day of school will see the Second Annual Space Grant Consortium and NASA Rocket Launch at the Warm Springs Academy. This year the rocket sci- ence lessons and launch will be on Thursday, June 15. Expect the launch in the af- ternoon, around 3:40 p.m. This program is made possible through a Consor- tium-NASA youth education and outreach program. Other partners have included the Oregon Health Sciences University, OMSI and the University of Washington. Warm Springs Ventures helps coordinate the pro- gram with the Academy staff and science teachers. The rocket launch dem- onstration will be at the con- clusion of a series of science and math exercises for middle school students. A goal of the Space Grant Consortium is to encourage under-represented youth to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). A way to help achieve this is with a show-case event such as the rocket launch. The program has been successful at other schools in sparking the interest in STEM curriculum among younger students. The pro- gram last year at the Warm Summer work program starts later this month The Health and Hu- man Services Native As- pirations Soaring for the Future work program will start on June 26. The program then goes through early August. Soaring for the Future provides a chance for youth ages 14 to the col- lege level to gain work ex- perience with the Confed- erated Tribes. Participating in the pro- gram, young people work at various departments around the reservation. The Native Aspirations team also provides of the supervisory and work ex- perience. There is also a health education component to the Soaring for the Fu- ture. If you need more in- for mation, pleaes call Buffy Hurtado at 541-615- 0141. Or email: buffy@wstribes.org Springs Academy was also very well-received. Archery and other projects were used to intro- duce some of the fundamen- tal concepts of rocketry. Cal- culating the trajectory of an arrow, for instance, involves the same math principals that apply to rockets.
