We won!
We won the competition and the HotIce-TEAM will be representing Sweden in the CanSat Competition finals in Norway!
We worked really hard on this project and I can't tell you how nice it feels to be amongst the chosen projects! Since we won we now have a lot of technical obstacles to overcome with the construction of the can and everything that will be inside it.
What now lays a head of us:
- Ordering parts for our CanSat can
- Constructing those parts into a working CanSat can
- Ordering the Sodium Acetate and other needed equipment
- Deciding what kind of container we will use for keeping the “Hot Ice” inside the rocket
- Deciding on how we will construct the device that is to start the crystallisation process
- Contacting our interested journalists, and perhaps a local newspaper as well
As you can see we have a lot of work to do in the upcoming weeks, but since we’ve got this far I don’t think a little hard work and some small constructional difficulties can stop us!
Odd Minde, our project teacher, will be going to the Netherlands to present our CanSat project and discuss matters concerning the construction of the can. When he returns to Kiruna we will decide upon the best alternatives for the construction of the different parts of the can.
Our TEAM-members once again :)
