Here's some sights and sounds from visits by our Cyber Haus computer campers.

Shuttle Schenectady

Inside the Shuttle Cargo Bay, you can click on pictures to see movie clips.

Shuttle Controls

At the controls, you can simulate flight on the shuttle. What you have to do is land the shuttle.

Lightning Sphere

In a demonstration of static electricity, you can put your hand on the sphere and all the beams of electricity are pulled toward your fingers.

Model Trains

In a model train demonstration, you can watch logs loading on a flat car.

Reflex Test

Test your reflexes by pressing the button from one to twelve and then back again. Astronauts have to do this before being allowed to go on a mission.

Tornado Demonstration

Hold a switch down and after a while, the water in a tank begins to spin and forms a tornado.
