Hendrick Hudson HS Students' Quotes About Their Project (doc)

Quotes from participating students:

On the difficulties encountered in the lunar plant chamber challenge:

"I felt the nutrient system was the most difficult aspect of the project to
set up" - Stephen

"... when constructing the nutrient system, because we had no idea how
difficult it was and we lacked actual experience to construct it" - Doug

On the challenge itself:

"The challenge was fun, it was interesting to see if there are changes in
the space seeds and the earth seeds" - Doug

"I thought that the challenge was a lot of fun. Coming up with a design that
could be brought to the moon and sustain edible plants was difficult and
exciting" - Stephen

"It was the first NASA challenge I participated and I felt it was a lot of
fun. I think I might do some more in the future"

On the team work:

"It wouldn't have worked without Dr. Rogers and all of our members of the
Lunapalooza club" -Doug
