AIS Session 11/1/2014

Hi all

Now that the Rocket launch is over, we will be back with regular sessions at Lockheed Martin on Saturdays. Here is what we will do first this Saturday-a little analysis on the rocket launch. Please try to get here between 8:30 and 8:45 AM so that we can start at 8:45

A few words from the sponsor!!!!

“We saw many of the home made rockets go up and we also noticed that the parachute design needs improvement.   Some of you had successful launches while some others were not that lucky.  Even the commercial rocket of Orbital Sciences assisted by NASA failed on Tuesday (10/28/2014).   But we would like to hear from you all so that we can improve the launching experience even further in the coming years.  We will take just about 10 to 15 min in the beginning for some of you  to say why you thought the rockets either failed or  launched well.  Please assemble by 8:45 AM and we request that the students take the same sitting position on the floor as they did on the day when we gave the instructions.”

From another sponsor:            

Note to Parents: Make sure that kids bring a note book and a pencil to every session
