Marlboro Teen Participates in Honeywell's Space Camp

MARLBORO, NJ - A student from Marlboro Township was one of 320 teens from across the country and the world who attended the Honeywell Leadership Challenge Academy at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama in February.

The program was open to all students, ages 16-18, of current full-time Honeywell employees.

Imad Khaleel from Marlboro participated. Honeywell created the program to improve access to STEM education. At the space camp, the students participated in the same training simulations as NASA astronauts, including:

· Simulated astronaut training and shuttle missions (including a moon walk!)

· Meeting NASA scientists, engineers and former astronauts

· Designing, building and testing their own rockets.
