Hope you guys had some spooky enjoyment yesterday! We had a LOT of fun, and we've been slamming candy all day. It's probably unhealthy to be honest... but someone's gotta eat it all. Procrastination is bad, after all. With that being said, we present to you: HMS Arugula! Follow to see what else we get up to!

Our team participated at our school Tech Expo today, where we presented to a panel of judges. With the help of another teammate, Derek, we were able to build a 3D rocket simulator using Unity. Thank you to the judges and our school, Edison Academy, for hosting this event!
