AD DreamUp Launch Team Load Mixstix 10.13.23

On October 13, 2023, iLEAD Agua Dulce learners on DreamUp Launch Teams Capsicum and Yucca Glauca loaded their Mixstix with their groundbreaking experiments.

For each team, one Mixstix will stay grounded here on Earth, while the other is destined for the International Space Station on November 3!

Our learners on Team Capsicum are excited to learn the answer to their question: “What is the effect of microgravity on Capsicum annuum seed germination?”
