Unidentified Found Object #2Ever found something and wondered “what the heck is this?”  We’re going to have some fun by bringing in some UFO’s (Unidentified Found Objects) into the library for inspection.

This weeks UFO, pictured, was found a few recently somewhere on the island.

Take a look at it. Think you know what it is?

What did it do? Where did it used to be on the island?

Put your answer with your name in the “Say Something” box below.

Whoever is the first to correctly identify (or at least offer the best explanation for) the object, wins that weeks prize.

How important is curiosity and questioning in your life? Do you ask questions that don’t have an easy answer?

Friday marks the 135 anniversary of Albert Einstein’s birth.  Einstein said, “The important thing is not to stop questioning,” and urged us to “Question everything,” and “Never lose a holy curiosity.”

What does this mean to you?  Let us know #mvrhsquestions

MVRHS Junior Cal Howard has designed and built a full-immersion virtual reality prototype inspired by the Oculus Rift.

Cal gave a presentation on how he designed it and what he hopes to accomplish next.  He had his prototype that he’s built using, among other things, a Kindle Fire, tin-foil, a mining headlamp, and a Pop-tart box.

Want to see?  We should have a video of his presentation posted soon.  Stay tuned.
