Dear Parents and students,

The students tried to create a battery that powered a device last week.  A few of them succeeded.  It was harder than they thought!  Even if you have enough volts, do you have enough amps to push the motor?  EVTOLS are pretty amazing technology.  The engineering that is necessary to design the batteries that are needed to power EVTOLS is incredible!  This week we will start our PEEP ODYSSEY INNOVATION CHALLENGE!  This is a 12 day project.  If you haven’t seen any of your student’s aviation projects yet, you should ask!  They have done some pretty cool things this year.

Here is our class schedule for next week:
