Yeah, 3rd Graders Think I'm Cool



For the final stage of my project I took the skills I learned and demonstrated them to a 3rd grade class at Harrisburg Elementary School. I brought pictures of the different stages of my project with me and showed the kids the video of my jump. I explained to them some of the skills I learned in ground school such as good arm positions, hand signals used between jumpers, and how to pull the (imaginary) parachute. I also taught them about how the parachute is steered and the importance of packing the parachute in an organized fashion to avoid malfunctions. Overall, I really enjoyed sharing my project with others, especially the little kids because they thought I was really cool.
