For Thank Your Mentor Day our team bought a gift for the Head Adviser for the team.
It was more of a gag gift than anything, but it still counts right?
What it is, is a cool looking clock that runs on hamster power. What this clock does is make the hamster run in the wheel which then turns a bunch of "chairman's award" looking gears in the back and changes the minute on every minute.
It is really cool.
The reason we got this, was that our Head Adviser is an older gentleman, and is known to lose stuff from on his desk and is sometimes forgetful (something that I guess comes with teaching trouble makers like the ones in HS for over 30 years
).
Sometimes we kid with him that
his hamster died.
Here are some photo's of him opening the gift tonight.

A close up picture of the clock can be seen here, as well as the intricate gear system in the back of the clock controlling the hands on the clock.
