Sponsership

Many thanks to Barry Lunn, CEO of Arralis, for sponsoring our secondary mission. 

The Final Week

This past week we have been working on all of our components and the programming. We have also been working on our final presentation.

Yesterday morning we visited another primary school as a part of our outreach part of the competition.

Parachute

After purchasing nylon material and strong thread, today we created our parachute with a simple design onto it.

First we had to cute out the circles and then tack them together using the thread. After everything was tacked in place we then used the sewing machine to sew it all together properly.

We also worked on our final presentation and our programming today.

The Vale Star

We are excited to say the Vale star are running an article on your project next week, to let people know about the competition and how the buccaneers are getting on. So make sure to look out for it in the local newspaper. Thanks

Outreach

Last week we did a presentation to primary schools on the eclipse and our CanSat project. We are planning to go to more primary schools after Easter as a part of our outreach for the project. We are also hoping to get an article in the astronomy Ireland magazine.

Happy Easter to all.
