Re: Team 357's WheelChair
I have been fortunate to see Team 357 present an overview of this project.
Another FIRST team who received an Invent Team Grant this year was 928 from inner city Washington DC. Benjamin Banneker Academic High School's robotics team was awarded a $10,000 grant from the Lemelson-MIT InvenTeam program to develop its invention: a cell-phone locker. Banneker, like many schools, prohibits its students from bringing cell phones into the school. The team invented a cell phone locker which will be located in the foyer of the school. Students will swipe their student ID's or use a fingerprint scanner to open their own locker. They'll place their cell phones in the locker and retrieve them at the end of the day. The team hopes to market their invention to health clubs (which now prohibit patrons from bringing cell phones - as they might have cameras - into locker rooms.) Congrats to the initiative of both these teams. |
