Offering a Helping Hand: Great River School's "Windamajig" Project

Recently, Leigh Estabrooks approached our team with a new challenge: to offer some guidance to another school whose project had some similar research topics as ours. Specifically, their project dealt with using cheap anemometers to record windspeeds at various altitudes. Our recent work with home-made anemometers and data acquisition may prove to be very useful for them. Some of us have taken the past week or two to come up with a detailed possible solution to the Great River School's problem statement (as well as their issue of weather balloons tilting over), and we strongly hope that we have been able to contribute to the future success of their project, the Windamajig.

We are extremely fortunate to have the extra resources available in order to help our fellow teams, and we would be very honored to do so again in the future, just as we hope to make an impact on the younger generations of our own school.

This is the video of our presentation to their team, outlining the concepts that we have come up with to address their problem. For a full screen version of the video click here.

Good luck Great River and we look forward to talking to you more about the Windamajig soon.
