Billy Millican

Bringing space exploration to the small town of Trenton has never been done before, especially by local students. Millican's physics students at Dade County High School will conduct the "Extraterrestrial Science Camp (E.T. Camp)" over five school days for two local elementary schools. Their goal is to align with NASA's vision of establishing exploration and research habitats in other parts of the solar system. The high school students will develop and teach state-mandated science lessons for the participating third-graders. They will also build a mock dome habitat for students to tour, as well as participate in a mock shuttle launch at the Challenger Center in Chattanooga, Tenn. During their time at the camp, the third-graders will complete multiple hands-on science lessons and build and launch a small rocket with their classmates. The goal is to pique young students' interest in advanced science classes, as well as prepare them to excel on state-mandated tests. Millican resides in Trenton.
