Big things are taking off for this #WeAreUSD231 team through the NASA TechRise Student Challenge! 🚀 Out of 60 experiment proposals selected nationwide, their project was one of just 30 chosen for the high-altitude balloon division! After months of working with mentors from Future Engineers, their experiment is officially flight-ready and will launch this summer to study how high-altitude radiation impacts moringa oleifera seed germination.
