Overview Introduction and discussion of HUNCH Projects by Stacy Hale HUNCH founder and Project Manager Discussion of the HUNCH Extreme Science Microgravity Program by Flo Gold Video presentations of HUNCH Program (Warren Tech in Lakewood, CO)

4 HUNCH Projects Build to Print - Hardware and Soft Goods Implementation – Web Page and Videos Design and Prototyping – CAD Programming and Fabrication Microgravity Research & Development – Extreme Science Experiments

Denver Area HUNCH Schools Warren Tech Career & Technical High School – Hardware fabrication, Design & Prototyping, Video Production, Web page support, Extreme Science Microgravity Experiments Lakewood High School – Design & Prototyping, Extreme Science Microgravity Experiments Compass Montessori Farm School – Soft Goods Overland High School – Extreme Science Microgravity Experiments Eaglecrest High School – Extreme Science Microgravity Experiments

HUNCH Programs Students participate in a team experience that allows for practice of 21 st century skills. Students are more actively engaged in hands-on learning Students gain a deeper understanding of their subject areas because they are applying their knowledge Students have an opportunity to work on significant real world problems Students attendance is improved and standardized test scores can improve 2011 PMI Educational Foundation pmief.org
