Abstract
We recently held a Science Summer Camp for middle school students, designed to infuse young people with increased excitement for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) subjects. Our efforts, which received nationally-syndicated news coverage, included the invention of a versatile water balloon launcher.
This document contains:
(1) detailed construction schematics and user operation guidelines for our balloon launcher;
(2) data and instructions for reproducibly filling water balloons to specific volumes and weights, within used by students during the summer camp.
