Ted Dull, Terry Norman, and Andy Brooks supported this year’s Fort Worth Regional Science and Engineering Fair. The Texas Chapter has been a longtime supporter of the science fair and awards special awards at the senior and junior high levels. This year’s winners included experiments with: varying rocket nose cone weights, innovative payload launching methods, lightweight parachutes and battleship displacements. Andy also reviewed the various projects for the best use of metrics for another special award sponsored by the U.S. Metric Association.
