Outreach
By Silent RenegadeJuly 28, 2010 – Gary, Gordon, Dave, Sheryl, Regina M traveled to the University of Washington, by invitation, to participate in a Native Youth Summer Education Program. We talked about college, water bottle rockets, our experience at First Nations Launch, and we launched two of our rockets and assisted in student launches.
Afterwards we met with Dr. Robert Winglee and Carlos Chavez, both of the Washington State Space Grant Consortium. We were taken on a tour of their rocket building facilities and had commitments of support from the WSSGC.
