Photos from Tuesday

Tuesday was a learning day for the Camp.  Students learned the basics of movie-making, modeling and rocketry so that they could decide who would be responsible for what tasks in their groups.  Tomorrow, each team must divide themselves amongst an AVE Movie team, AVE Modeling Team and a Rocketry Team.


3D Modeling was demonstrated in the PC lab where students were walked through basic rocket designs and were introduced to the programs they would be using.


Students were also given an opportunity to try out the software and do some basic design work.


On the other side of the AVE building is movie-making. Students were walked through the basics of camera set-up including more technical discussions on camera angles.  They were also introduced to the movie-making software they would be using.


Students work with their camera to create test footage.



During their Physics lectures, students created several different types of rockets including film canister and balloon.

Tomorrow the students will divide into their three sub-groups and begin the initial design stages for their rocket.  We wish them luck.  Reach for the stars.
