Kit of Parts Pickup:
Depends on when the Space & Rocket Center opens for visitors.
Snow is predicted into the early hours of Saturday. The Rocket Center will need time to clear parking lots and sidewalks before allowing visitors.

Plan A- Saturday January 7th: The Space & Rocket Center will delay opening Saturday at 12:00 noon for visitors. We will be at the Davidson Center from noon to 3pm handing out kits.

Plan B – Sunday January 8th: The Space & Rocket Center does not open until Sunday. We will be at the Davidson Center Sunday from noon to 3pm handing out kits.

From the weather reports, I feel confident we will be able get the kit of part out, but if not…

Plan C – Monday?? Stay tuned as we will be updating if conditions change.

If the Space Center is open Saturday, we will be handing out the Kit of Parts at noon.

Text me with your name and team number to (256) 684-7578 and I will text out a confirmation regarding Saturday’s kit of parts distribution.
