High Altitude Balloon Team Travels to Raleigh
The Marbles Kids Museum in Raleigh recently held a grand opening to introduce their renovated courtyard space, Marbles Playway. ECC’s High Altitude Balloon Team, critECCly stable, was a part of the grand opening on Saturday, Nov. 16. The team was invited to perform a tethered launch of their systems with a balloon. When a balloon is tethered, it is tied to the ground with ropes to prevent the balloon from flying away. In addition to two launches, there were several hands-on activities for guests.
