SCVi Learners Load Experiments Headed for ISS
On October 12 and 13, 2023, SCVi learners on DreamUp Launch Teams Bok Choy and Yucca Glauca loaded their Mixstix with their groundbreaking experiments.
For each team, one Mixstix will stay grounded here on Earth, while the other is destined for the International Space Station on November 3!
Our learners on Team Bok Choy are excited to learn the answer to their question: “What is the effect of microgravity on the germination of bok choy seeds?”
