Video Title

A Sky Full of Color: Live from the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta - STEM in 30

Description

Balloons have a long and colorful history. After all, the first hot-air balloon passengers were a sheep, duck, and a rooster who flew from France in 1783. Since then, balloons have been a mode of transportation, a military asset, and a source of entertainment for many. Join STEM in 30 as we explore the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta and bring you the history of balloons, the science behind hot-air and gas balloons, and the pageantry of the Fiesta.
