HARA makes waves at Seven Seas

20150417_182559 On Friday April17th, Vince Hugele, Duane Mayer, Daniel Cavender and Woody Bevill set up an information booth at the Weatherly Heights Elementary School for their spring STEM event.  We had originally planned to launch several A/B powered low power rockets to kick off the event, but Mother Nature had other higher priority plans that forced the launch to get scrubbed. 20150417_185144 This was the first unveiling of the club’s new table covers and conference signage.  The table covers were a nice UAB Crimson Red and really  made the rockets we brought stand out.  Daniel provided his work in progress a 1/10th scale Little Joe II.  Vince brought in several of his printer box specials such as the spider web saucer, his paper disk saucer nd his see-through teaching rocket.  Duane provided his home built hand crank launch controller and some nichrome wire to demonstrate how rocket motors are ignited.  Woody brought in his red Level 1 rocket and his unfinished Level 2 rocket as hands on take it apart and look at how it’s put together demonstration tools.  Unfortunately, one little future rocketeer decided to take all of the rockets apart (many times) including one of Vince’s Crayon Odd-Rock kit-bash rockets and pulled the shock cord completely out of it’s motor mount. We all had fun, even the kids and look forward to our next opportunity to introduce elementary children to the hobby.
