Great America Days
Shortly after the 2010 competition, Great America contacted the team president, Mack, and invited the team to support their annual Physics, Science and Math Days at the amusement park held on a series of Friday's in the May-June time frame for northern California schools to experiment in the park. It seemed like a great way to reach other students and a fun day at the park. After discussion with GA, the Gear Heads took the lead in coordinating all participating teams for all of the Friday demos.
