You are not confined to a lab or classroom. The students are challenged to plan ahead: launch in a certain place, be able to track or chase the balloon, and then capture or recover it in a different place, geographically.”

We are already brainstorming about student competitions, teacher professional developments, and even student designed payloads that could be 3-D printed in our FabLab.  Who knows what we might do on the next launch? A giant mission control event on site in our Works Theater?  The world’s farthest egg drop? The sky’s the limit! “Working with Stratostar enabled us to create a huge media buzz to get people excited about science and the thrill of adventure, exploring the near space environment. It was a perfect fit with our mission to delight, educate, and inspire”

– Mike Hennessy, Carnegie Science Center
