The First Year September 2018.

 

Their Task after Experiencing the "Chaos" of trying to control a Balloon Flying in the Air on their own, was to create a "Hot Air Balloon," that is, a Balloon with a basket under it carrying an object; in this case carrying 1 or more pennies or nickels and attempting to have it take-off and fly without spilling the basket contents, and if possible, land it without it tipping over.

 

Teamwork! Making a Plan, dividing-up the tasks for who does what, and beginning detailed work.

 

Bearrunner and Josh are into it!

Jurnee and Sylvanna discussing their plan. They're at a crucial point for their next step.

 

Emily ans her partner have advance to the next step. Attaching the yard, which has the basket already attached to it, now to the Balloon, holding it after its blown-up to tape the yarn on. It has to be taped in a very exact and balanced way.

 

A.J. and Jursiyon focsued with great ATTENTION to their detailed work and plan.

 

Hailey says: "OK Team! I've got the Balloon ready, we have the yarn taped....Let's go!"

 

"I hope we can get it attached right!"

 

"Now wait, Allison. I've got to get this yarn on the basket first!"

 

"This is the way to attach it," Adrian says! "Stringing the basket like this is going to going to make it more stable in flight so it won't tip over."

 

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Blast Off! Ahimsa and Christopher's is working! Kursiyon syas, "Whoa!"

 

Now Jursiyon and A.J. let it rip! Ha Ha.....we got it!""

 

Getting ready for flight! "Let's have a count-down everybody! 10, 9, 8...."

 

Sarai's Team is ready for blast-off! Holding the air in on the Balloon, keeping everything steady and straight..."Coun down!"

 

"Beautiful flight!"
