Project Stratobear
| Engineering Team Leader
15 Sep 2013 - 16 Jul 2014 Sandy Hook New Jersey
Project Stratobear is an upper atmospheric research experiment involving the micro-organism the Tardigrade. The project involved the construction and launch of an upper atmospheric probe designed to expose the micro-organism payload to various hostile climate conditions including radiation, temperature, lack of oxygen, and high/low pressure. My role as Engineering Team Leader involved: -The original development of the Project Stratobear proposal which involved creating approval board documents,project outlines, and project scope documents. -Development of the initial fund raising campaign to secure ample for all project aspects. Fundraising involved social media marketing and investor meetings. -Development, construction, and testing of the upper atmospheric vessel Stratoprobe One. -Project concluded with the successful launch and recovery of Stratoprobe One. Stratoprobe One Accomplishments: -The vessel accomplished all specifications originally outlined. -The vessel obtained a maximum altitude of 98,000 feet and exposed the Tardigrade organism to various atmospheric conditions. -All data gathered by the probe was sent to various Tardigrade researchers.

Safe Routes To School Program
03 Apr 2012 to 02 Aug 2013 Link
The Safe Routes to School Program was Joseph Nardone's Eagle Scout Project. The Safe Routes To School Program operates in Monmouth Beach, New Jersey. The program was responsible for encouraging students to walk to school more often. Walking to school is often dangerous because the amount of cars often outnumbers the amount of walkers. Our theory was that if we were to get more students walking then less cars would be on the road, and that would make the roads safer and encourage even more walkers. Throughout the operation of this program surveys, presentations, and questionnaires were completed for the students. At the end of our program we saw a 14% increase in student walkers.
