How can you exercise in outer space?
That’s the question students from the Robotics Club at Trinity Christian School (TCS) in Statesboro had for Georgia Southern University faculty members when club members visited campus recently.
University Professor Li Li, Ph.D., Associate Professor Barry Munkasy, Ph.D., and Professor Daniel Czech, Ph.D., in the Department of Health Sciences and Kinesiology, met with the students to answer pertinent biomechanical and psychological questions to assist students with preparation for NASA’s upcoming Interscholastic Robotics Competition, “How to Exercise in Outer Space.”
“To have experts our team can learn from is such a great experience and will help tremendously in our goal this year,” stated David Lattner, headmaster and head coach of TCS’s robotics team.
In addition, students were provided the opportunity to tour the biomechanics lab located in the Hanner Fieldhouse on the Statesboro Campus.
