News from Team USA


On Friday, The Engineers of IBM will be conducting a workshop in Team USA! They will also listen to our presentation regarding how we utilized the grant money that we won from them last year, and students will be having a round table discussion with them in an effort to secure funding for researching/designing/ building a prototype for a waste saving machine. It will be marketed, should it work as planned! Our students can pull this off. It will be a two year project with students returning back from BFA next year, and hopefully including
