Be sure to check out the previous launch (upper right link) when we launched from the zoo in September 2017

This year the MakeIT workshop has been learning about circuits and coding in C++ with an adafruit feather. We have successfully built circuits with sensors to gather information and to write that data on a micro SD card. We will be adding our feather (micro-controller) to the balloon payload to collect additional data as the balloon soars to the stratosphere.
