Here's the deal for SNHS pictures:
If you have anything nerdy (lab coats, xkcd shirts, goggles, safety glasses), bring it to the picture. We'll be stealing goggles and plushies from the science teachers as well. Wear whatever you have on, but please DO NOT WEAR ANOTHER CLUB'S TSHIRT. If you wear another club's t-shirt, you will not be included in the picture.

If anyone could do step #1 (cutting up a 4'x8'), that would put us far ahead! Just tell me you're doing it, and I'll post it on the Facebook and this page that someone is taking care of that job.
Here is our catapult (technically trebuchet).

Science Hours Opportunity:
SNHS is building Pumpkin Catapults for Harvest Fair/RoboFest!

Science Hours Opportunity:
SNHS is building Pumpkin Catapults for Harvest Fair/RoboFest!
Date: Sunday, September 29, 2013 7:30AM-3:00PM (end time may change)
Location: State Fair grounds.
Commitment: You and a team will build a catapult and then help people operate it at the event. Plan to start building next week. The pumpkins are about 8"-10" in diameter and weigh about 6lbs. The catapult doesn't have to be complicated; in fact, if you decide on a complex design, you should have a simple backup. For example, you might want to use a "rubber slingshot" design as a backup. The entire team doesn't need to be at the exhibition date, but you should have at least two people, or enough people to help operate your catapult, depending on design.
In addition to 8 hours on Sunday, all time you spend building the pumpkin catapult counts as Science-related service hours. I will contact the NHS officers to clarify that this can count for NHS hours as well.
If you would like to get involved, contact me (eliserpenn@gmail.com) ASAP.
Shout out to Tony Stano for the great idea!
