Had a great time at @thinkercon talking to so many fellow creators. Wish I had time to talk to so many more. Thanks to @jabrils_ and friends for building a mini @smartereveryday with us and our traveling #maker lab (5 pelican cases worth). Four years ago, Tim and I came to AL for Random Acts of Intelligence. We didn’t know anyone. There we met @articulationsvlog, who has been an amazing friend. She helped start the #WeCreateEdu slack and it has snowballed from there. I’m truly grateful for all the friendships with creators and lovely people at YouTube learning. We went from being alone to not being able to walk very far without finding a familiar face and getting a hug. You all keep us going. And thanks for sharing your love of learning with the world. #thinkercon #youtubelearning #youtube #servos4tw #hotglueguntotherescue #huntsvillealabama #randomactsofintelligence (at Huntsville, Alabama) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqYzfkTh74b/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17n56sgw32jum

We made a sunflower that looks for nice sunny spots using a #circuitplayground By @adafruit. To learn how to build and code it, check out our YouTube channel. #makecode #maker #adafruit #crafts #featurecreep #projectbasedlearning #libraryproject #stemeducation https://www.instagram.com/p/BqIOkqlBzni/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=79nkjm86e7qo

Troubleshooting with Tim. Investigating why the sensor data from the IMU kept crashing. IMU-measures orientation and acceleration). The sensor reads data and stores internally in a buffer. Then a when the interrupt signal goes high, it sends the data to the computer and clears the buffer. Our buffer filled with data and crashed constantly.

Preview of 360 video from @nasa_langley tour during #stateofnasa. I had a 360 camera on a tripod hooked to my backpack. Here are some clips of the video from that view. I’m in the middle of 3 other projects right now. Hopefully I’ll edit the 360 videos by April. I also have footage from my phone I’ll edit into a rectangle video. Can wait to share the experience with all of you.

We did it! We launched a #highaltitudeballoon and saw the #eclipse2017 from 40,000 feet in 360 degrees. You can see the shadow of the moon move across the clouds. We had launch issues and an interesting recovery. There was someone else following our tracking signal and we raced to get to the payload before them. Thanks for all the support! More BTS videos to came. https://youtu.be/N_bsT-TyiRg . . . #eclipseday #scifri #scicomm #engineeringlife #maker #diy #360video #garmin #gopro #moonshadow #beatrice #homestead #nationalpark #launchday #3dprinting #scijoy #enginerd #weatherballoon #august212017 #wecreateedu #aprs #spot #make

Watch the total solar eclipse from 40,000 feet above the Earth. In this 360 degree experience, you will be able to look down and see the moon’s shadow move a...

We launched a our high altitude balloon during the Great American Solar Eclipse. We captured the eclipse on a 360 degree camera.

There was a large gust of wind and our first balloon took off with no payload. We did some quick calculations, cut off half the payload, grabbed a smaller balloon, and used all the helium we had left to capture this video. We launched half an hour later than we wanted, which is why we are in the clouds for part of it.

You can see the moon’s shadow move across the cloud tops. The sun becomes a small bright dot in the sky.

Editing in a moving vehicle is more difficult than expected. Bumpy roads and precision cuts don't match. We pulled over at a rest stop for me to record audio at one point. But it is all coming together! Hopefully up in the next few hours. (35 minutes is a lie premiere pro tells me. Always slower) . . . #eclipse2017 #highaltitudeballoon #garmin #beatrice #homesteadmonument #moonshadow #engineering #scicomm

Eclipse video update. We had some launch issues. We did launch a camera and got some footage. Hopefully video will be out today or tomorrow. Editing in car. It is a race to see if we get back or I can get the video out first. Thanks for all the support.

Rig is road ready.

The building continues. The final assembly of all the rigs are almost done. #locktite has been applied so there is no going back. . . . #highaltitudeballoon #engineering #stem #eclipse2017 #buildday #thepartsallfit

We are launching our balloon during the #eclipse2017 so we can see it from the edge of space! Join us on our journey over the next week. Also one current prediction has us landing in a river. We are bringing an inflatable raft. . . . #highaltitudeballoon #engineering #science #imsoexited #eclipse #scifri #nearspace #gopros
