Operation Airlift

Come put your design, engineering, and circuits skills to work at the Adler Planetarium's Operation Airlift on Saturday, April 18, 2015! At this design-engineering competition, teams of students will compete with each other to design and build the best possible remotely-controlled airship. Join us for this fun day, where you'll get to connect with other students, local scientists, and Adler Planetarium staff. View pictures of last year's event here. All participants will receive lunch and snacks during the day. Participants are responsible for their own transportation. No prior experience is necessary! However, we are hosting 2 drop-in sessions during spring break to allow you to play with the electronics you will use during the competition. The dates are scheduled for 10 am to 1 pm on Tuesday, April 7 and 10 am to 1 pm on Thursday, April 9. Students and teachers attending these sessions will receive free admission to the Adler Planetarium exhibits. Register as a student participant to reserve your spot today! Make sure to provide a valid email address - we will follow up regarding team placement if you are planning on coming with friends and dietary restrictions.
