Thank you everyone who signed up for the first Fab Lab session to make a hovercraft. Because of the overwhelming response and the limited number of spaces available, I will be running multiple sessions of this build.

The following students were randomly selected for session 1:
Kaleb K., Conner F., Josue R., Carl M., Daniel C., Charlie B., Eric S., Reese B., Tyler B., Drew M.

Fab Lab starts tomorrow after school in room 316. The names of the 10 students randomly selected have been posted in room 316. If you didn't make it into the first session, session 2 will start some time in November. I will send out another round of emails to students when session two is close to starting (probably sometime in November).
