This year’s summer Growing Beyond Earth interns have been hard at work testing a new set of potential experiments for the upcoming school year. The interns have been exploring novel crops, alternative growth media, herbal teas, irradiated seeds (simulated cosmic rays), and light recipes.

In June, the Growing Beyond Earth interns traveled to the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral. The interns were able to meet with the NASA scientists associated with the experiments.
