In May, I went to Arsenal Technical High School to work with the Computer Science Teacher and a few students. I took stomp rockets. We went to one of the gyms so we had some space. Being the end of the year, there was a lot going on and most of their students were around school getting things done to finish up the school year. But we had three students excited about making rockets. We also had a few staff members wander by, so we roped them into making/launching a rocket. They were all amazed how high the rockets can easily go.
After that, the teacher took me to see their “MakerSpace”, which is not really in use. They have some 3D printers and a laser cutter (not hooked up) and a decent size room with big tables for projects work. I hope to come back in the Fall to help them get this space going.
