Smithsonian Spark Lab

Abby finished up her time with the Buford Engineering Academy on Friday, with a trip to the Smithsonian Museum of American History. The Academy kids are the only 3rd party group to ever present in the museum, so it was really exciting for them to be able to set up there and show off what they have been working on. It was a bigger group, because the next year's corps is already on board. Abby's group (Abby, Elisabeth, Harry) were tasked with making an airplane launcher using electromagnets:
