Tales from Edison - Week 5


Take a look at one of the blogs from a student taking Shark Tank, Jr.
"This week I did Shark Tank, Jr. I was really surprised on how detailed the course is. Not only that, but we have an amazing teacher. I am really excited when I actually perform or present my product to the "Sharks." This class was both interesting and fun." 
"Shark Tank, Jr. is awesome!!! We come up with a product, prototype, and so on. Tomorrow, we are going to present our products to the sharks - a.k.a. parents and counselors. Soon our the ads we are making will be on your TV. I hope I can come to International Ivy Summer Program next summer."


Below is a video of a student showing off the robot he created in Lego NXT Robotics.
