Making Lists - Exploring the Stuff

When we met today, we organized our team into several tasks:

Morgan and Jordan will be taking the lead on creating the Outreach Report Presentation.
We linked the Twitter and Instagram accounts.
Morgan and Emily S. will work on social media
Jordan and Morgan start creating a list of microgravity fun facts for Microgravity Mondays
Emily S. will be drawing a team logo
Ben, Sam, and Zachary worked on the SLED design
Cooper worked on data analysis today

Here is the collection of 'stuff' from NASA that we will use to create our launcher!

We got to see some Cubes and hear about the process of preparing them and launching them into orbit. This was the most direct connection to our engineering project - as we created a satellite ejector system to run on the PABF (Precision Air Bearing Floor). It was a great way to see the value of the team...
