On November 5, 2010, we were notified that for the second year in a row, the Career and Technical students of New Albany High, have been accepted as a 2010-11 High Schools United with NASA to Create Hardware (HUNCH) Team! These students will be given an engineering challenge by NASA, and work to solve that challenge. They will have to work as a team to problem solve and generate 2-D and 3-D computerized drawings to represent their work. Other team members will have the responsibility of preparing progress reports for NASA and making an animated presentation to be displayed at the HUNCH recognition ceremony at the end of the project. We will also be soliciting businesses and companies who might be willing to assist the team with their expertise, equipment and/or fund raising to help with any expenses or materials.
