[music]

[music]

00:00:12,070 --> 00:00:16,100
[dreamy music] When I was

5
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:20,120
seven, I desperately wanted to go to space camp. 

6
00:00:20,140 --> 00:00:24,150
So this is like every little kid's dream, to work here. 

7
00:00:24,170 --> 00:00:28,200
The live view of the International Space Station down the hall everyday 

8
00:00:28,220 --> 00:00:32,210
is, it's pretty cool. [music transitions]

9
00:00:32,230 --> 00:00:36,240
My name is Sarah Roth. I am a student at the University of Akron, 

10
00:00:36,260 --> 00:00:40,270
and I am studying chemical engineering. This summer I'm working on designing

11
00:00:40,290 --> 00:00:44,320
an experiment to gather data on propellant slosh. 

12
00:00:44,340 --> 00:00:48,360
Propellant slosh is, okay if you have a glass of wine, and you're walking with it, 

13
00:00:48,380 --> 00:00:52,380
and the liquid is moving back and forth inside the wine glass, that's sloshing. 

14
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:56,390
So propellant slosh is the way it moves inside the tank. 

15
00:00:56,410 --> 00:01:00,440
My typical day involves organizing this and organizing that, 

16
00:01:00,460 --> 00:01:04,480
putting it all together into a document so that somebody can easily read and say, 

17
00:01:04,500 --> 00:01:08,510
"Yes, this is an experiment we want to do." I took a really varied path

18
00:01:08,530 --> 00:01:12,540
to get to engineering. Like most kids in high school, I had no idea what I wanted to

19
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,570
do. I ended up getting a full ride to study music. I was like "Oh this is cool." I taught 

20
00:01:16,590 --> 00:01:20,610
music for a while. And then after, you know, struggling through the economy in

21
00:01:20,630 --> 00:01:24,670
2008, I joined the Navy. And they were like, "Hey, 

22
00:01:24,690 --> 00:01:28,700
you're really smart. You should become a nuclear engineer." And I was like, "Okay!" 

23
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,730
And they sent me to school, and I learned some great stuff, and then

24
00:01:32,750 --> 00:01:36,770
after I got injured and discharged, I was like "Okay, no I really like this, I like

25
00:01:36,790 --> 00:01:40,790
engineering, I like the math. I like working on something that's meaningful." 

26
00:01:40,810 --> 00:01:44,850
And, 

27
00:01:44,870 --> 00:01:48,880
this place is pretty meaningful. 

28
00:01:48,900 --> 00:01:52,890
[beep beep... beep beep... beep beep...]

29
00:01:52,910 --> 00:01:56,910
[music fades out]
