What Does It Take for a Science Nerd to Cook? SSP!!! 🍳🔭

At Astro GCSU, students study stars, simulate orbits, and analyze spectra like pros. But cooking an omelet? Now that’s rocket science.

There was a long line of hungry students—not for a telescope, not for pizza, but for a chance to cook their very first omelet. They proudly wielded spatulas like they were conducting a chemistry experiment.

Despite the egg-stra wait, no one minded. At SSP, even breakfast becomes a bonding experience. Students asked me to take pictures and proudly showed them off to their parents:
“LOOK, MOM! I MADE SOMETHING THAT DIDN’T GO SUPERNOVA!”

Next mission: figuring out how to clean the pan without using a spectrometer.
