About the Makers: Flight
Makers who work with kids in flight-related making:
Rick Schertle
Rick has taught middle school language arts and social studies the past 20 years in San Jose where he lives with his wife and young son and daughter. As a kid, he and his dad tinkered at many things and become experts as none, but had a lot of fun along the way. Trying to practice what he teaches, Rick writes for MAKE Magazine and several projects he designed for the magazine include the Compressed Air Rocket (Volume 15) and Folding Wing Glider (Volume 31). Joined by thousands around the world, this past summer Rick kicked off Maker Camp at the New York Hall of Science. Rick brings high flying rocket fun to Maker Faire every year and along with his wife and kids, loves all things that fly. Along with making stuff, Rick and his family enjoy ultra-budget world travel which has taken them all over Europe, North Africa, Southeast Asia and Central America.
