| Audrey Smith, a teenager from Crittenden County participating at the Craft Academy for Excellence in Science and Mathematics in Morehead, Ky., took her educational experience to an even higher level recently. Smith took part in the Honeywell Leadership Challenge Academy at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Ala., enjoying simulated astronaut training and shuttle missions. |
The week in February Audrey Smith spent spacing out away from her regular school work may have just changed the course of her life ... for the better. Recently, the Crittenden County teen returned to her advanced studies at the Craft Academy for Excellence in Science and Mathematics after spending seven days at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Ala. It was more than just space camp. It was the chance of a lifetime to participate in the Honeywell Leadership Challenge Academy and immerse herself in space science. “It was a blast,” Smith, 16, said, pardoning the pun. “I think it was the best experience of my life. Maybe someday I will become an astronaut.”
