Narrator: Take Your Child to Work Day at

3
00:00:07,860 --> 00:00:10,340
NASA's Ames Research Center became a fun

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,470
opportunity to learn about science and

5
00:00:12,490 --> 00:00:15,590
tour some of the Center's facilities.

6
00:00:15,610 --> 00:00:18,160
Parents and their children visited a wide variety

7
00:00:18,180 --> 00:00:20,760
of booths that featured hands-on opportunities

8
00:00:20,780 --> 00:00:22,770
to ask questions and learn about Ames'

9
00:00:22,790 --> 00:00:24,840
projects and research.

10
00:00:24,860 --> 00:00:27,330
Several facilities opened their doors for tours,

11
00:00:27,350 --> 00:00:30,030
like FutureFlight Central - a virtual air traffic

12
00:00:30,050 --> 00:00:33,000
control tower; the Vertical Motion Simulator - that

13
00:00:33,020 --> 00:00:36,750
provides a full motion experience for pilots;

14
00:00:36,770 --> 00:00:39,620
and the 20-G Centrifuge that can recreate high

15
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,860
G-forces in a controlled environment.

16
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,600
Led by the Education Office at Ames, the effort

17
00:00:45,620 --> 00:00:48,410
was also supported by dozens of volunteers from

18
00:00:48,430 --> 00:00:51,660
projects and facilities from around the Center.

19
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,110
This first-hand experience was part of an on-going

20
00:00:54,130 --> 00:00:57,540
effort by NASA to inspire a diverse new generation

21
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,900
of researchers and scientists.
