Student Stories

Weather Balloon Launch

Metro's weather balloon reaching peak heights.

Students from Metro Steam Academy launched a weather balloon from the roof of the downtown Cedar Rapids Library on May 16th.

Students say they spent months working on the balloon before finally releasing it.

Weather balloons are a key tool for meteorologists and are sent roughly 100,000′ in the air to collect essential weather data.
