Aerospace Engineering Professor James Cutler oversees launch day operations as students make final preparations to release the balloon and CubeSat payload during the BSA CubeSat Demonstration Program (CDP) outside the Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Building, on the North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, on April 19, 2025. The launch day brought together students across disciplines and experience levels to collaborate on real-world engineering challenges.
As part of the BSA CubeSat Demonstration Program, students designed and built small-scale satellite systems to collect and store atmospheric data. Supported by the MXL CubeSat Flight Lab and Blue Origin engineers, this hands-on project gave participants real-world experience in system design, fabrication, and flight testing.

Detail of molten metal being poured in the MSE Advanced Lab in the Herbert H. Dow Engineering Building on the North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Friday afternoon, February 17, 2023. The floor of the lab where the pour will happen has a layer of sand on it to protect it in case of spills.
The Advanced Lab is home to MSE 360, a course about structural materials used for building everything from vehicles to buildings and beyond. In the first half of the course, students learn standard alloys before moving into design. MSE 360 is an opportunity to gain experience in both theory and application.

She wanted to make her own lip balm after receiving a kit for Christmas from her grandparents. She enjoyed mixing the scents and putting them into little containers that she decorated with stickers. She gave some of lip balms away as gifts (it was Valentine's Day when she made these). Other gifts were placed under the "Valentine's Day Tree" that she came up. We all needed some cheering up after Casey had died the night before.

A squirrel is visiting the feeder that the girls made. It kept picking one kernel, eating it while holding it between its paws, running to the evergreen bush to finish eating, and then run back and do the same thing all over again.
Sometimes it would run a bit further to eat - to the pear or pine tree - but it always raced back for another kernel of corn.

Olivia with the bundt cake she made for her special project for Home Ec. She's never made a bundt cake before, and loves chocolate cake. She was very happy with how the cake turned out (it tasted great).
The Betty Crocker recipe had to modified to be dairy-free (so Sophia could eat it). Olivia was surprised at how many ingredients it took to make a cake from scratch.
