SUMMARY:Cloudy Nights Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The forecast seems to be definite clouds for tonight\, so we are cancelling the observing night\, but… \nWe are going to try a new alternative option.  The club will be hosting a workshop for kids and adults to work on projects\, learn about science\, and commiserate on a cloudy night.  Also\, membership packages and club merchandise will be available for pickup/purchase. \nGMAC Cloudy Nights Workshop\nThis is a new event from the General Motors Astronomy Club that will act as a backup to cancelled observing nights.  Depending on interest\, we may continue this event or change it to meet your needs.  The event is held in our 2000 square-foot pole barn\, where we have lots of space for projects\, plenty of tools\, and a play area for the kids.  Activities include: \n\nSPECIAL PROJECT TONIGHT: Measuring Density – Our Senior Astronomer\, Tony Licata\, found some actual meteorites from the January bolide event in Hamburg Township and I have been working on calculating the trajectory of the meteor in a computer simulation.  Tony has agreed to bring his meteorites tonight and we will be measuring their density to aid in the computer simulation efforts.  We would encourage you to bring other small objects (less than 2 inches) and we can measure their density as well.\nThe kids will be invited to join a fun hands-on activity\, entitled “Will it Float”\, with playdough and water!\nPizza\, snacks\, and drinks provided\nWork on science projects\, build stuff\nLearn to use tools and lab equipment (hammers\, ratchets\, impact wrench\, multimeters\, graduated cylinders\, mass balances\, and much more…)\n\n  \nWhat to Bring (optional): \n\nSmall objects to measure density\nYour telescope\, and we can teach you how to clean and collimate it\nAnything broken (appliances\, toys\, computers) and we’ll fix it together… or we’ll at least find out how it works 😊\n\n  \nJoin us 6PM to 10PM at: \nGoodall Barn \n13665 Hibner Rd\nHartland\, MI 48353\n+1 540 718 3278 \nBear with us\, this is the first time we’ve done a workshop and it is last minute\, so we’ll have to make it fun together.  If you have any ideas for projects\, bring them along.  Our team of engineers and designers love to work on projects with the kids.  We hope to see you there!  If you have any questions\, don’t hesitate to call me.
