  1. Argonautica in the U.S.The Lycee International de Los Angeles (LILA) Experimental Buoy ProjectAnnie RichardsonJet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology

  2. LILA Buoy Team Background The LILA Buoy Team was established in 2003. The first students were selected by their teachers to participate in the program. Because the students are fluent in both English and French they were the perfect choice to help NASA/JPL begin to pilot the Argonautica program in the U.S. There are currently 12 students involved, ranging in age from 9-17.

  3. LILA Buoy Team During design phase, the team met 1-3 times per month in the school library. They decided to put temperature sensors on the buoy.

  4. LILA Buoy Team The team has to figure out how to make the sensor waterproof

  5. Video Conference with La Rochelle, France Using video conferencing capability at JPL, the buoy team participated in the 2005 Argonautica student conference. The video conference was featured on the Sealevel web site.

  6. Buoy Construction Moves to School Chemistry Lab With information they learned from the video conference, buoy construction moved to a different level.

  7. Final construction, integration and tests take place at UCLA Marine Aquatic Center

  8. The completed buoy, now painted bright red

  9. The Ada 2 The buoy is shipped to Ushuaia, Argentina to be placed on board the boat of Skipper Isabelle Autissier

  11. LILA Buoy Launch Makes News • http://sealevel.jpl.nasa.gov/features… • http://www.spaceref.com/news… • http://bbsnews.net/article… • http://www.france-science.org/home/… • www.cnes.fr/automne_modules_files/comm/public…

  12. LILA Experimental Buoy Results Launched from the Ada 2 on 11 January, the buoy transmitted location data for only 5 hours. Unfortunately, temperature data from the sensors was corrupted.

  13. How Do you Measure Success? • Disappointingly, the buoy returned data for only 5 hours, but: • The students started as a group with different ideas and finished as a singly-purposed team • They learned about project life cycles and identified project roles they would play • Older team members encouraged and mentored younger ones • They collaborated internationally, exchanging ideas and lessons learned with students in France • New team members were welcomed and participated fully in all remaining aspects of the project • They saw that in the real world, science and engineering projects are not always successful.
