Today, we had a meeting after school. We did introductions, talked about the kickoff event, and talked about 3ds Max and the safety animation.

The kickoff starts at 10:00 am on January 6th, so be sure to get there on time. If you need a ride there, call my cell phone at 980-5980...I can only take two other people though.

Also, if you're going on the spring break trip and haven't turned in your money, you need to be sure to get it in to Roach as soon as you can. The trip is to the Silicon Valley Regional in San Jose, March 14 - 21, and it costs $800 for the hotel and plane ticket.

We finally got our fuel cell yesterday!!! They shipped it on a plane without the hydrogen tank because it was taking too long.

Chris Curry's address is posted on the rocket party's event link, so be sure to check that for Saturday. The road he lives on is being renamed, so the map information says Juniper, but the street signs will say Puma. We'll know on Friday if the weather will be nice enough for us to launch the rockets on Saturday, so watch for another update.

Again, if you haven't finished (or haven't started) building your rocket, you can work on it at lunch in Schwartz's room (D204) at lunch on both Thursday and Friday.

We're in the process of getting the Robotics webpage up, so if you're interested in joining the team take a look at that when it's ready. There will be pictures from last year's competition. The kickoff is set for January 6, 2007, but we can start having meetings before then.

Monday, October 2nd

Today, we worked on building the hobby rockets that were ordered for this Saturday's rocket party. It was slightly sticky, but a lot of fun. If you didn't finish building your rocket (which no one did completely), or if you want to build one but you weren't at the meeting, you can come into Schwartz's room any day of the week during lunch and work on that.

We're still waiting to get Chris Curry's address posted for the rocket party, keep checking the website for updates. Depending on the weather, we will be launching rockets on Saturday, October 7th. We're going to meet at Mr. Curry's house at 11am and then we will walk to the field to do our launching. Rumor has it that Mrs. Curry will be cooking a big batch of chili for us. We will definitely know on Friday if this is still a go.

Feel free to drop us an email at dhs.scienceclub@gmail.com if you have any questions or concerns.

This was our first "real" meeting. We talked about introducing mini clubs, where groups of students interested in a specific topic would do some research on it and give a short presentation to the rest of the club.

Topics discussed (and people interested) were:

• Medicine: Mark
  
• Rocketry: Ben
  
• Robotics: Whitney, Brenden

These topics aren't exactly set in stone...they're just what the people who talked during lunch said they would be interested in.

Also, we have a rocket launching party scheduled for Saturday, October 7th to replace the tour of the Kodiak launch complex. Supplies have been ordered from Anchorage House of Hobbies. Check out the link on the left for details.
