Pre-teen’s STEM brewsky experiment headed to ISS

A sixth-grade Colorado student’s space-science experiment, one he developed at his science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) school 20 miles south of Denver, has won an all-expenses paid trip to the International Space Station. Astronauts aboard the ISS will test the effects of Michal Bodzianowski’s cosmic beer-making experiment. The 11-year-old claimed the prize as part of the National Center for Earth and Space Science Education's Student Spaceflight Experiments Program. The experiment is scheduled to launch in December aboard Orbital Science's robotic Cygnus spacecraft. Source: Space.com, Oct. 11, 2013.
