Tonight I attended the Tech Expo, at the Middle School... lt was so much fun.There was chili tasting.All the chili was so good.The top image is a catapult.The bottom one is of these leggo vehicles. They have infa red sensors so they can see the line and stay within the circle.There were also really cool little cars that run on co2.The fastest one in the contest went 37 miles per hour.There was one that went 44 mph.But that one didn't count.There were also mouse trap powered vehicles.One is in the top picture at the right.It went the whole length of the room and could have gone farther.I even got shoot the catapult a couple times.It was a blast.

The Batavia City School District has won a designation from the company that supplied the schools with those high tech electronic blackboards.
The "blackboards" are actually white, and act much like a computer monitor and mouse.
The firm that sold the district the devices, Promethean Incorporated, has selected Batavia Schools for its Torchlight award…one of only 15 in the country.
A ceremony is being held at Robert Norris School at this hour.
We expect to find out later today just what the designation means for city schools.I got this off the wbta web site...I would give a school an award also if they bought my product..Is this a nother way to over hype something.....
