Davis Creek Elementary has
launched its first rocket! March 17 marked the day for the first
trial run of the Davis Creek Elementary remote rocket launch. The
model was a small rocket built on a LEGO programmable brick with light
sensors to signal the rocket to launch. Students at Barboursville
Middle School used the Red Rover software to drive the rover past the light
sensor on the rocket launcher. Their view was just though the camera
on the Red Rover. Once the progam was activated the rocket zoomed
out into the classroom at Davis Creek as admiring fifth grade students
watched. Plans are being made to set up more remote rocket launches.
