   A cold region chiller (which makes one of the gingerbread dark matter hunters sad) is built from Graham crackers, icing, and twizzlers that serve as the connection to the cooling loop. Graham crackers, gumdrops, and chocolate are used to make a computer rack. A cookie makes the pressure vessel dome and another gingerbread disc the tank lid. Blue jello represents water in the neutron shield.

   A small version of a real poster for PICO completes the display. 5/5

     @matthewfeickert Thanks! This was a first serious foray into gingerbread construction. I learned a lot of lessons. Mainly: jello leaks. It looks cool but it’s traitorous.
