99 Agenda 9.0 Outreach o Prospective Plan o Prospective Schools 11/15/2017 California State Polytechnic University, Pomona PDR

100 Prospective Plan There are currently three different options of educational engagement with K-12 students. First Option - Educational/Direct: Propulsion and Drag Second Option - Educational/Direct: Programming Third Option - Outreach/Direct: Recovery Avionics/Propulsion System 11/15/2017 California State Polytechnic University, Pomona PDR

101 Prospective Plan Propulsion and Drag The first option involves an educational/direct interaction where students learn about propulsion and drag. This event will include a lecture and a hands-on activity where the students will use a variety of parachutes and timers to see how different dimensions will affect those two concepts. 11/15/2017 California State Polytechnic University, Pomona PDR

102 Prospective Plan Programming The second option involves another educational/direct interaction where students will participate in programming exercises at school. We will give a lecture on how programming can bring projects to life and have the students solve real-life applications through coding. At the end of the presentation, we will demonstrate how our payload experiment works with its integration into the launch vehicle by bringing the Raspberry Pi Zero. 11/15/2017 California State Polytechnic University, Pomona PDR

103 Prospective Plan Recovery Avionics and Propulsion System The third option involves an outreach/direct interaction where the team makes a field trip to the designated school and gives a PowerPoint Presentation about structural components behind the rocket, specifically with the propulsion system and recovery avionics. Towards the end of the presentation, a premade rocket will be launched to showcase the material from the classroom into action. 11/15/2017 California State Polytechnic University, Pomona PDR
