Concepts And Designs No More Woof Breaks Interspecies Communication Barriers How many videos of animals “talking” have you watched on YouTube? Don’t you wish those were real?

Jim Walker Military Launcher for Folding Wing A-J Army Interceptor <meta name="description" content="The Jim Walker military catapult launcher used in WWII for the folding wing Army Interceptor" /> When World War II broke out in Europe, Jim Walker began to think of how to use different types of model airplanes to aid in the war effort. At that time he was thinking of large Radio Controlled planes, never dreaming that there was anything in the toy field that would meet army needs. One day in Texas, a colonel who had bought dozens of the toy gliders for his own children, walked into a variety store and picked up a handful of American Junior Aircraft's little Army Interceptor folding wing gliders. "Heck," he said, "these are the babies we want." Consequently an order for 500 of the planes came from the instructor's training headquarters in Texas. This was followed shortly by an order for 1,000 and then one for 5,000.
Folding Wing Glider Patent Papers by Jim Walker Here are the original patent application papers Jim Walker filed for the folding wing glider concept.

Halliburton GEAR Project Based Learning Lesson Plans Research shows a decline in student involvement in STEM related education and careers. The media and political arenas have brought to light that U.S. students are falling behind those in other countries, especially in math and science. In order to help solve this problem, education agencies are looking towards Project Based Learning (PBL) and 21st Century Skills in hopes of generating students interest not only in STEM but to improve student skills in critical thinking and problem solving. On this page, teachers will find resources and lesson plans for a PBL activity that combines LEGO robotics and the 2012 GEAR “Power Up” competition challenges. Halliburton graciously sponsored the 2012 GEAR competition and provided the focus of robotics in the energy fields. The PBL activities focus on implementing robotics into a variety of energy simulations centered in a variety of fields – petroleum, solar, wind, biofuels, and hydroelectricity.
