of two different metal materials joined at one end to forma junction (see Figure 2). When a temperature variation occurs at the junction, it generates avoltage, which can then be converted into temperature, through calibration. Since part of the flowstagnates at the thermocouple junction, the measured temperature is often assumed to be the totaltemperature. A laboratory has been developed to allow aerospace engineering students to verifythis assumption while teaching them how to measure flow velocity using a Pitot-static tube. Thislaboratory has not been found in the open literature. Figure 1: Pitot-static tube [4] Figure 2: ThermocoupleExperimental SetupThe experimental

Thisinteractivity enables us to teach foundational STEM principles—such as robotics, telemetry, andembedded systems—to learners of all ages via our STEM on Wheels program, the University’smobile STEM laboratory. Just as the original HAM the Chimpanzee inspired a generation in 1961[2], our goal is for this modern-day HAM to spark curiosity and inspire the next generation ofscientists and engineers through meaningful, hands-on experiences.Future Outlooks and Considerations High-altitude ballooning has enabled researchers to conduct iterative experiments with rapidturnaround, offering a flexible and cost-effective alternative to traditional astronomical research.HAM was originally
