What jobs would today's middle school students fill in a future workforce? There are plenty. As you might guess, there are a host of new career choices that look nothing like the careers that Generation X had to choose from.

The balloon launch on Saturday October 8th from the Indianapolis Challenger Centre was part of an Educator workshop held by Decatur Central Schools. The 600 g balloon reached an altitude of 88,288 feet AGL before bursting over Clayton Indiana. The flight contained some experiments including a pressure sensor that was loaded in the neck of the balloon. Educators learned about using these platfroms as part of curriculum and took part in the launch. About 60 teachers attended the event along with several students who stopped by to see the launch. The Indianapolis Challenger Centre is located on the southwest side of Indianapolis near the Indianapolis International Airport (IND). Special thanks to James and Susan at ATC IND for helping to insure safe commercial flight coordination in the region for the day. As always, IND ATC Rocks! WE hope some visiting commercial passengers got a cool view of the launch!
