Special guest speaker – L. Paul Verhage

>>CANCELED<<

Topic: 4H robotics & near space ballooning
Summary:Due to bad weather in KC, Paul has had to cancel. He would like to reschedule for a future meeting. Paul will talk about his involvement with local 4H clubs and demonstrate some robots that he has built. He is also an accomplished near space balloonist with countless launches under his belt and will also be talking about amateur near space ballooning.

Paul’s website: http://nearsys.com/ and YouTube channel.

From Paul’s website: I’m a former United States Air Force officer and college network administrator. These days I teach electronics at Washburn Institute of Technology while working on a PhD in Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Kansas. On the side, I design and build robotic and science projects and then write extensively about them and my findings. I also teach an astronomy class to the public and lead robotics workshops.

I’m in the middle of my most ambitious project, the writing of a novel. Staying as true to H.G. Wells as possible, the story is a sequel to The War of the Worlds and takes place in circa 1905. Tentively, the story is called Mars 1905.
