2015-2016 Space Cowboys

Space Cowboys
League of Extraordinary Space Cowboys

As most of you know, I teach High School, and in addition to all the engineering and math classes I teach, I have a class where the students design and build sophisticated instrument packages, and then launch them to the edge of space on High Altitude Balloons.

Students must apply and then be accepted into this program, and the class is a block that takes most of the afternoon.  The program is called the League of Extraordinary Space Cowboys, and the team usually gets two launches off a year. Pictured above is this year’s group.

I am really looking forward to working with this group of talented young people . . . they are among the best students I have ever had. You can follow their work on facebook HERE.
