Project 1( show ) (hide)
Fabricate five (5) minute videos as needed.
Purpose
To inspire the next generation of researchers by, fabricating short educational videos that science teachers in high schools and middle schools can show to their students.
Overview
Who better to relate to high school and middle school students then high school students? Students are provided one to two hours of on-orbit video and a list of talking points. They cut out interesting talk points and relate it to their age group, bringing out points on how this helps us on earth, or why it is easier to do this research in space, using students with clever banter to make it entertaining and engaging for both other high school and middle school students.
Team
The TV Video Production HUNCH team has students in the ___period class.
Status
The students have been given a SPHERES video and a Zero-G flight video to edit.

Project 2( show ) (hide)
Machine the parts needed and assemble an International Space Station class III (Training Hardware) Single Stowage Locker.
Purpose
The locker will be used to train the International Space Station astronaut crew members on locker operations, payload housing and stowage.
Overview
The International Space Station Single Stowage Locker is assembled out of twenty-three (23) parts that the students will fabricate out of raw material. Fifteen (15) of these parts will be made out of aluminum sheet. Seven parts will be machined out of Aluminum billets. The remaining part will be a modified from a commercial off the shelf hinge. There are also numerous commercial off the shelf parts that will be included in the assembly i.e. rivets, latches and captive fasteners.
Team
The Warren Tech HUNCH team is students in Precision Machining class and their mentor Alex Doman a 2010 Warren Tech HUNCH graduate. They meet during class and after school.
Status
Fabrication: 0/3 door panels complete, 0/12 tool guides complete, 0/1 rear plate complete, 0/1 door complete, 0/1 hinge complete, 0/1 front frame complete, 0/2 top/bottom panel complete and 0/2 left/right side panel complete.
Assembly: complete.

Project 3
Project
Design, fabricate, and document an experiment to fly on the Zero-G plane in April, 2011. The experiment is to investigation how microgravity will affect their proposed ISS plant growth chamber.
Purpose
The plant growth chamber is proposed to fly on the ISS. However, student explorations are to inspire the next generation of scientists.
Overview
The students are designing a hydroponics plant growth chamber which will operate well within constrains of the ISS. This school year, students will investigate aspects of their plant growth chamber that may be affected by microgravity conditions.
Team
The Warren Tech HUNCH team is three students in Engineering Design class. They have been working during class time on their experiment.
Status
The basic design and operation of the plant growth chamber has been fabricated. Tomato plants started from seed have been growing nicely in the chamber. Students decided that the watering system was the aspect of their design that needed to be investigated under microgravity conditions. They flew their experiment on the Zero Gravity plane on April 5th and 6th, 2011 at Ellington Field Houston, TX.

Project 4
Design, fabricate, and document an experiment to fly on the Zero-G plane in April, 2011. The experiment is to investigation how microgravity will affect their proposed ISS plant growth chamber.
Purpose
The plant growth chamber is proposed to fly on the ISS. However, student explorations are to inspire the next generation of scientists.
Overview
The students are designing a hydroponics plant growth chamber which will operate well within constrains of the ISS. The students will investigate aspects of their plant growth chamber that are hypothesized to be affected by microgravity conditions.
Team
The Warren Tech HUNCH team is students in Forensic Science class. They have been working during class time on their experiment.
Status
The students are in the design phase of a hydroponics system to sustain plant growth. The plants have germinated, but then do not survive. The students hypothesize that their watering system does not keep the plants moist enough. Students are presently working on improving their watering system.
