Another Super Awesome Sylvia Update

If you missed the ABC World News tonight you can check out the story on their web site about Sylvia. 

Super Awesome Sylvia at the White House

One of our friends was in the news recently. Sylvia Todd (aka Super Awesome Sylvia) is featured in this NY Times article "A Science Star Already, Tinkering With the Idea of Growing Up". She first participated in one of our Show & Tell's November 2, 2010, we knew she was destined for great things and appreciate the times we've had to get to know her and her family. Congratulations Sylvia.

Heirloom Chemistry Set

 

I wish to thank all of you who have encouraged my efforts to get an Heirloom Chemistry set into the market place. I wish to especially thank Mike Grundvig who graciously rendered my Photoshop drawings into a form that allowed me to post a conceptualization on my website as well as rendering my drawings into a form that could be read by a CNC router. Also, Tom Collins who has volunteered to rout out the first prototype box for the chemistry set and with whom I look forward to working these next days to see this come to fruition.

Rocket Science Day

 

Carol and I want to thank Makers Randall Jesse, Mike Grundvig, Kevin Simpson, and Vince Thompson for helping insure that Saturday's, Rocket Science Day – October Sky, was a success. It was cold and a little windy, but we managed to launch 70 rockets and made a lot of kids very happy (after all, that’s our goal).

Also, the 3-D Printer parts for the first buy-in all arrived safely and Mike proclaimed them worthy.
