As a child, were you always getting in trouble for creating homemade rockets and sending your siblings' toys skyward? Do we have the perfect event for you! In June 2004, 3,000 people will flock to Provincetown, MA to watch 25 individuals/teams (including a Harvard team) compete in the 2nd Annual Provincetown Birdman Event. At this event, competitors jump off a 20-foot high pier to see who can fly the farthest without using motorized parts. Some competitors will create magnificent flying contraptions; others just attempt to look good trying. The event raises money to support the Gay Men's Domestic Violence Project. In these sessions, we will discuss entry policy, rules on craft design, and provide initial support in designing your craft.
