Arrived!

Our work has arrive at NASA and is ready for us!

Putting the Pieces Together on Paper

It's time to get our proposal submitted! Our team has used the 'divide and conquer' approach to manage the writing process. There are several sections of the application that have needed to be developed. Some have worked on creating our social media presence. Others have created a plan to share our experience after the trip, if we're accepted, with our community. Another group worked on creating a lesson plan to use with students. A group developed sketches of our system and a technical description of how it will work. We intend to create code with an Arduino device - but we have yet to learn how to do that. Here are the documents as they are ready to go into NASA! Each school's administration has written a letter of support and we're ready to press SUBMIT!

Triggering?

We've started to meet each Monday to work together. Sometimes we all come to West High School, other times we meet via video conference between West and East. Today's work: Ben, Edward, and Matt began the drafting process for the blueprints of the SLED. The main focus was on brainstorming the following: Trigger mechanisms Frame of the SLED Ideas for the team logo have been sketched out by Emily S. on grid paper. The following concepts have been drafted: The satellite hovercraft Kato Launch Squad Movement Acquired targets Sam and Zach began the coding process for the autonomous release of the SLED. We have ordered an Arduino Leonardo to be the microprocessor to make our automation happen!
