Today we trekked to the Fe-Ex Institute of Technology, FIT and a greenhouse on the roof of the life science building. We explored innovative technology and learned about the botany research being done on wild carrots!
 |
| This is a drone or an UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle). |
 |
| As the drone hovered in front of us the students compared the sound of the propellars to a bee and hummingbird. |
 |
| Kids learn so much through touch. Thanks Mr. Peter for letting us touch and nice job touching responsibly kidos! |

| Some kids kept their eyes on the controls while others watched it fly! |
 |
| We're in "The Zone" A special meeting room full of technological innovation. The kids got to choose a chair and they took turns speaking in their own mics. Once their mic was turned on their image showed up on the big screen in the front of the room (which you can't see in this picture). The screens here are part of the control area. |
 |
| Mr. Cedric working the controls. |
 |
| Here's the big screen! |
| Elevator ride to the rooftop! |  |
 |
| Mr. Adam telling us about the greenhouse and carrot plant. He and his professor are sequences the DNA of wild carrots! |
 |
| Nature enthusiasts exploring the plant a little more closely. |

| An attentive group of students listen as Mr. Adam shares his research. |
