Science Fair Events
You can do many things during the science fair. Of course, you will want to take a look at all of the students’ projects or works designed by students. There will be other exciting things too. These events will show a wonderful world of science. The announcement of the winners will take place at the awards ceremony on the afternoon of the last day. Here is an introduction of some events:
Meet a Robot!
Can people and robots work together? The answer is “Yes”. Scientists will be at the fair on Thursday October 30, with Modo. Modo is a robot helper being developed to help people with jobs they do. Let’s learn how Modo’s large blue eyes are able to “see” things. Watch Modo take and hold objects and move them from side to side. Then see how Modo puts the objects on a shelf. Touch Modo on the arm. Watch what happens! It will respond to your touch. If you push it too hard, it will say, “Ouch”!
Our Own Thomas Edison!
As is known to all, William Shakespeare is well-known to almost all writers while Thomas Edison is familiar to the inventors. Here comes our local Thomas Edison. Make sure you’re in the gym at 10:00 a. m. on Friday. At that time, local genius (天才) Ray Allen will give a talk about his life as an inventor. He will also show what his inventions can do.
