Hendr\u00e9 Jacobs, \u2019n gr. 10-leerder aan die Ho\u00ebrskool Montana, is een van twee Suid-Afrikaanse leerders wat die land eersdaags by die 2019- United-ruimteskool (USS) gaan verteenwoordig.<\/p>\n
Die USS word jaarliks deur die Stigting vir Internasionale Ruimte-onderrig (Fise) in Houston, Texas, by Nasa aangebied. <\/p>\n
Altesaam 50 leerders van 25 lande is gekeur om die USS in Julie vanjaar vir twee weke by te woon. Die leerders moet uitblink in wiskunde en fisiese wetenskappe en moet \u2019n groot belangstelling toon in ruimteverwante wetenskap en samestellings. Die leerders moet hul eie sending na Mars onder die leiding van mentors \u2013 onder wie ingenieurs, wetenskaplikes en kenners in die lugvaartbedryf \u2013 ontwerp.<\/p>\n
Jacobs s\u00ea hy was opgewonde toe hy die nuus ontvang. \u201cEk was in absolute ekstase toe ek hoor ek is gekeur. Dit was nogal op my verjaarsdag \u2013 Woensdag 13 Februarie.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hy s\u00ea hy is nie die eerste in sy familie wat die program sal bywoon nie. \u201cMy neef het in 2013 gegaan. Dis toe ek besluit het as ek ouer is, wil ek ook gaan. Hy het my in kontak gebring met die mense wat dit ko\u00f6rdineer.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jacobs s\u00ea hy stel al van jongs af in tegnologie belang. <\/p>\n
\u201c \u2019n Groot deel van my familie is ingenieurs; ek self hou ook daarvan om goed te bou.\u201d <\/p>\n
Hy verduidelik waar die liefde vir die ruimte vandaan kom: \u201cEk het jare gelede \u2019n ruimte-uitstalling in Johannesburg bygewoon. Die uitstalling het so baie vuurpylmodelle gehad. Dit was interessant om te sien hoe alles in die ruimte werk.\u201d<\/p>\n
Buiten die ruimte het Jacobs ook ander stokperdjies. \u201cEk hou daarvan om foto\u2019s te neem, en wanneer ek tyd kry, maak ek kort video\u2019s. Ek hou ook van die fynere koffiemaak-kunsies.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jacobs s\u00ea waarna hy die meeste by die USS uitsien, is om saam met mense uit diverse kultuurgroepe te werk, die vliegtuigreis en om Nasa te besoek.<\/p>\n
Dawie Diedericks, Montana se skoolhoof, s\u00ea die skool is baie trots op Jacobs. \u201cHendr\u00e9 is definitief iemand wat so \u2019n geleentheid verdien. Hy is lojaal en toegewyd.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
