Computer Coding and Web Application Students Selected to Present at the Johnson Space Center:

03/14/2019

The Computer Coding and Web Application Program at Miami Valley Career Technology Center has been working throughout the school year with the NASA Hunch Program on developing a Mission Reminder Tool.  Two Computer Coding and Web Application teams from MVCTC have been selected/invited to participate in the final design and prototype review at The Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas on April 16, 2019.  The teams consist of the following student members:

  • Logan Bowers (National Trail), Cylas Whiting (Miamisburg), Nick Brown (Northmont), and Adam Cantrell (Wayne)
  • Jacob Sager (Bethel), Cameron Snyder (Bethel), and Peyton Chapman (Bethel)

The NASA Hunch program gives students authentic learning opportunities where they can apply their knowledge from the classroom to work on real NASA projects requested by the astronaut crew on the International Space Station (ISS).  The Computer Coding and Web Application Senior students worked in teams with Lt. Travis Rennich, their Air Force mentor from Wright Patterson Air Force Base, to develop a Mission Reminder Tool.  This is an Internet-based web application which collects data transmitted from NASA to the International Space Station, processes it, and displays a calendar of scheduled missions.  It also provides astronauts with the ability to schedule reminders for various tasks.  The Invited teams will present their Design and Prototype project for NASA HUNCH at Johnson Space Center in Houston Texas on April 16, 2019.   They will be presenting to NASA Engineers and astronauts.
