Miscellaneous Stuff

From satellite finding to model ships for high school engineering challenges, there is a miscellaneous category here for you!

This program will find satellites that the amateur observer can use to see satellites passing overhead at twilight.

The Baltimore Museum of Industry promotes Engineering Challenges for middle and high school students. I have been the leader for several home school groups over the years and the most enjoyable challenge is the cargo ship. Here students will design and build a model cargo ship about 4 feet long using an old windshield wiper d.c. electric motor. The point is to move as much "cargo" (pine sticks), sometimes as much as 50 lbs, around a track buoyed in the Baltimore inner harbor. I have written a design and build guide for students.
