Wile E. Coyote: My Mentor The sun hits my window sill, breaching the gap in my curtains. Instantly, I awakened with a smile of gratification. At the drop of a dime, I remove my dinosaur pajamas, darting through the corridors of my house, racing to get into the TV room so I can catch my hero in action.

For weeks I studied the shapes of the balloons, researched wind effects on different shapes, and built a homemade balloon rocket. I could have done the standard “baking soda volcano” or “which bread molds the fastest,” but thanks to the inspiration of Wile Coyote I learned the value of
