Ball on Mars!

Fredrik Bruhn, the CEO of Ångström Aerospace Corporation has designed a better more mobile rover for mars. Unlike other rovers this one almost never gets stuck has fewer motors and never flips over! "The beauty of the system is it needs very little energy to go around rocks, so unless you're landing on a surface that looks like a bed of nails, it should be fine," Bruhn says. Bruhn says he can make four mars balls for as little as 6 milion!

Who Says Boards Don't Have Brains?

The new school year has started! And our class has been privleged to use a brand new piece of technology. A Smart Board!! A smart board is a dry erase board computer touch screen. It's amazing! The smart board has little plastic marker like tools and when you pick one up you start writing. When you finish writing you can tap it and recognize it into text. If you make a mistake it also has an eraser too! Since our board is new it gets a little off. Then you press the question mark button and press re-calibrate then tap the points on the screen.to make it on screen. They're also a smart board in my math class which is why i know so much about it. Smart boards is making learning fun in all classrooms!!
