A project like this takes real planning, real engineering skills and flawless execution. With the<br />
guidance of the RDS Kids In Space team of parents, the kids will take real responsibility for<br />
making it happen. During a series of about six sessions this fall, they’ll be guided through a<br />
series of projects exploring topics such as; impact mitigation, changes in air pressure, heat<br />
exchange, 3D global positioning, vehicle construction, launch and recovery. Whether they succeed<br />
or fail, this will be a unique learning experience that the kids will never forget. Each student will<br />
receive a short DVD chronicling their efforts and the flight itself. This is the type of experience<br />
they may even include on their high school and college applications. Limited to 8, third grade or<br />
older (by fall 2011). Time and place TBD. Donated by: Ina Bendich, Matt Derby, Rick Jacobus,<br />
Jeff Kowalski, Bob Krause, Partha Saha, Sean Van der Linden<br />
