The weeklong Space Camp promotes science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) while training students and offering hands-on activities and missions based on teamwork, leadership and problem-solving, according to a release.
Shriyan spent the week training with a team that flew a simulated space mission. The crew participated in experiments and completed an extra-vehicular activity (EVA), or spacewalk.
Space Camp is located in Huntsville, Alabama, and uses astronaut training techniques to engage trainees in real-world applications of STEM subjects. Students sleep in quarters designed to resemble the ISS and train in simulators like those used by NASA.
