This is the second year of the adafruit feather MakeIT workshop. We have been learning about circuits and coding in C++ with an adafruit feather. Students have successfully built circuits with sensors to gather information about light, temperature, and humidity. They have also coded the feather to write that data onto a micro SD card. Students will be adding an adafruit feather (micro-controller) to the balloon payload to collect additional data as the balloon soars to the stratosphere.

Chase path - we gave it an honest effort - but sadly we did not locate it. It does have my contact information, so maybe it will still be found.
