We did it!

At the competition this Saturday, we won 1st place for the research project, and we're going to the state competition! We are going to improve our research project even more by:
  • Memorizing our lines
  • Presenting our project to the PTA
  • Trying to have a whole school assembly
  • And to decorate the bike
Here's some pictures -

3 Meetings Left!

We only have 3 meetings left! We're almost done with the missions on the other side of the table. Right now we have 75 points.  Last year we had 360 points, but we think we can get some points on the board with our last meetings.  At the last meeting we are going to polish our stuff, and make sure it all works. So we really only have 2 meetings left! The team looks forward to going to UNH, and trying to win it.

Interview with UNH Professor

Last Monday we interviewed University of New Hampshire faculty member Professor Tagliaferro. We interviewed him to find out more about our solution for our research project. 

We talked with him about some kind of bike that could power a T.V. or a computer. If you ride the bike for 20 minutes it will create power to run the T.V. for 15 minutes! That way people could stay in shape without diets, and they can still watch T.V. as long as they have the power to run it!

The power that is made could also be saved and given to someone else who needs power.
