This program allows students to take nature's inspiration and create 3D tool based on a raptor's talon. Students will plan and hand-build design, then experiment and test the efficiency of their tool, and employ adaptations to improve the function of their designs. Test of final product will take place in the "Talon Challenge", a game-showlike competition among the students to have fun while observing how well their tool performs in grasping, grip strength and transporting various projects. 22676 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 0 false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 14 0 true false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false NY X Melissa LeHane 8458765383 67 N Parsonage St Rhinebeck NY 12572 X Eliza Bozenski Board member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kyla Hart Vice President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Tanvir Alam Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Matthew McKnight Board member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Fichtner Lawrie Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jennifer Braine Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Maureen Terranova President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Liz Sgroi Board member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kerim Kalafala Treasurer 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Melissa Lehane BOARD MEMBER 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Laurel Kemp Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 13154 13154 0 17854 17854 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 31008 17854 22676 22676 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3000 3000 0 0 0 0 0 885 885 0 0 0 0 0 0 9 9 0 0 1596 1596 Fundraising 2599 2599 Postage and Shipping 229 229 Fees 125 125 0 31119 22676 5844 2599 103128 97613 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 663413 740528 0 0 0 0 766541 838141 65 74 65 74 X 766476 838067 766476 838067 766541 838141 -111 75230 -3528 X true X false false false X 39343 46016 61450 72061 13154 232024 0 0 39343 46016 61450 72061 13154 232024 0 232024 68670 38658 12470 15493 17854 153145 0 0 385169 38689 0.60240 0.57680 X CREDIT CARD PAYABLE 74 74 true RHINEBCK CSD 45 NORTH PARK RD RHINEBECK NY 12572 146000849 22676 0 Science and technology projects 1 0 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 JENNIFER BRAINE (SECRETARY) MARRIED TO BOARD MEMBER.
