Each year Team 456 helps put on a couple of local week long STEM camps called GEMS (Gains in Education in Math and Science). Today is the last day of the second camp week. Team 456 is assisting with a weather balloon launch today to wrap up GEMS II summer camp.
It has been a coordinated effort with local HAM radio opperators, FAA, etc.
We are go for launch about 11:00AM Central Time if the weather holds.
If you are interested in tracking the balloon click here:

Have any other teams done something similar? BTW: we would love it it the balloon lands near some team if they would assist us in locating and retreaving it!
Thanks,
Chuck
