As one of the NEBP engineering teams, in early 2023, we had received a new set of balloonpayloads and two ground stations from the NEBP leadership teams and this set of new equipmentbroadened our choices of technology for the 2023 annular solar eclipse and 2024 total solar eclipse.For the 2023 annular solar eclipse, among the various technology choices we had, we adopted thenew set of NEBP equipment as the primary platform and worked on additional payloads

. With the evolving technology and engineering principles, modern turbines are designedwith larger, more aerodynamic blades to maximize power production. These blades take the formof airfoils, much like the wings of an airplane, which helps them efficiently convert wind energyinto rotational motion. Importantly, these blades are not flat but instead include a twist along theirlength, optimizing their performance and ensuring they can adapt to varying wind conditions.One remarkable feature of wind turbines is their ability to adjust the angle of their blades. Thismovement is known as blade pitch, and it’s a critical factor in optimizing energy capture. Bychanging the blade pitch, turbines can respond to changes in wind speed and direction

The Walk and Draw applicationenables students to experience nature while documenting their findings. We have built anopen-source prototype system that supports students in conducting and documenting theirexperiences in varying environments, thereby providing the opportunities for self-reflection andsharing their experiences with their peers. Ideally, Walk and Draw will support students intheir lifelong goals of communication, exploration, and creativity. Walk and Draw
