The Virginia Air and Space Museum had a two-day outreach program that I finished. I got the chance to walk about and snap photos of a lot of interesting historical events while I was there. I contributed to the setup of our table, which included iPads, Sphero BOLTs, 3D printed toys, business cards, and fliers. The children played with amazement at the Sphero BOLTs, which were quite intriguing and entertaining to watch. With a ton of customizable sensors and code, the BOLT is suitable for kids of all ages. By connecting the BOLT to the iPad, which is where it is operated, I assisted the children in setting it up. The kids could move the BOLT and alter the LED colors on display just from the iPad. I was unable to experiment with the coding features since they were already programmed. The 3D printed toys (a mouse, an axolotl, and a shark) that were on show on our table were also a hit with the children. I had a great time seeing the kids play with the BOLT and 3D printed toys over this two-day event, which was entertaining overall. It was enjoyable and exciting to explore the museum. All I needed was someone to respond to questions. The moon landing and space exploration has a lot of interesting sights to take in. The opportunity to view the real Apollo 11 command module from the 1969 initial landing was the most fascinating aspect. Admiring some of the naval history, such as a model of the USS Ronald Reagan and navy planes, was another pleasure. In conclusion, I enjoyed this outreach opportunity because it allowed me a chance to communicate and engage with new people. I also appreciated the moments I could wander off and explore the museum. I recommend this outreach experience to anyone with an interest in air and space exploration.
