Question Day 2014
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

Cal Howard’s locally-grown virtual reality

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.
