Mr Tanenbaum will be helping students on Monday and Friday morning at 8:30.  Come one come all to the Computer Lab.

This year, South Orangetown Central School District students will be sending one experiment of their own design to the International Space Program!  The contest to design experiments will be open for students in grades 5 -12.  Students in grades K – 4 may compete to create the official Mission Patch, which will also fly to the Space Station along with our experiment!

All experiment proposals MUST BE COMPLETE AND TURNED IN BY NOVEMBER 11!

All Mission Patch submissions must be 3 1/2 by 3 1/2 and on regular white paper, not posterboard or cardboard.  Information about and dates for this contest will be coming soon. Check back!
