The StsytemsGo team left Thursday after noon headed to Clute, Texas down by Lake Jackson, which is south of Houston. They arrived safely at their hotel at 7:44 that evening. Today, they are busy setting up the launch site, and readying everything for an early start tomorrow.
Launches will be all day tomorrow, Saturday, and Sunday with 12 schools launching a total of 27 vehicles. Hopefully weather will not give them any trouble with all the recent rains and flooding.
Please be advised that this is a very small launch site, and it doesn’t allow public access, but there will be Livestream from there again so friends and family can still watch the action.
As I mentioned previously, Phil Houseal will be traveling along with the team this year to conduct interviews on the site with students, teachers, team and other person’s of interest at this launch much like he did here at Willow City. This is a great new addition that allows the public to get a glimpse at education in motion. Get online and watch these students as they learn and share first hand.
Zach Pooser, owner of Chassis by Zach is on site providing the Livestream up-link. Here is the link to the live stream for the Houston launches.

Zach and Phil provide a great experience for both viewers at home and the students and team on site while helping to bolster the STEM program. Allowing the public to share in the actions and see what these students are accomplishing as they apply all they have learned and continue to learn from their launch results helps SystemsGo to grow interest in the future of the STEM program and the hands on approach to learning.
Here are just a few pictures from when the team left on Thursday.
Event details will be available here each day of the event. Daily reports featuring schedules, school names, results, pictures if available, and some editorial content will also be posted.
