It’s AWESOME, a century II kind of annual celebration of engineering and geeky DIY for kids. We need volunteers to help staff our booth. The event is March 10 from 9am-2pm. I updated http://makeict.org/volunteer to be a sign up, or just reply here. Our MakeICT booth will have a wind tunnel where kids can test their paper airplanes, you’ll love it.
Expo was awesome this year! Great to see lots of you there with your families they said over 3,000 people attended and I believe it because I was dead tired!
Huge thank you to Barb and Mike Hutton for building the wind tunnel, kids LOVED it, we got perfect light up kid faces when they saw airplanes lift off in there
Huge thank you to Tom, Jim Hammer, and Jace for staffing the booth with me all day!
We will set up the wind tunnel for the march gallery show. It was too fun making the airplanes fly, making non-airplanes flutter and dance around, tufting odd objects to test their aerodynamic properties. The kids didn’t all know that an airplane points INTO the wind to get lift or what wind tunnel testing is even for so those were all great concepts.
