10/16 - Skycraft Scavenger Hunt - Jen and Madeline

Skycraft Scavenger Hunt                                Jen Herrera and Madeline Morales

Please take a picture of each item on the scavenger hunt using your phone. You may work in pairs. You need also to take some notes getting serial numbers and label text so that you can learn more about the item and its specs when you get home. Post small sized pictures and text describing objects on blog. I need enough information to know what it is. Have fun!

Post is super long so page break: (click read more to see post, or this post will eat the whole front page)
