Hands On Science

Lots of funny positions as people tried to balance the hovercraft.

While mostly twenty- and thirty-somethings wanted to ride the hovercraft, a few somewhat older folks thought that it would be fun.

I've discovered that a sign makes you look official and then people are more likely to play.

Static pictures don't really show the gliding motion of the hovercraft very well. Next time, I'll bring a camcorder.

Kids loved the hovercraft, but the noise scared them.

Spinning is fun.

My shadow. Taking pictures was exciting. I gave a push, shot a picture, and then went and caught the hovercraft.

I posted an explanation of how hovercraft work. Some people rode on the hovercraft and then read the explanation. Some didn't care :( and a bunch read the explanation but didn't ride.
