"The gigantic dimensions of this ultra-lightweight revolutionary airplane - capable of flying day and night without fuel - are its trademark feature. To build it, the whole team had to push back the frontiers of knowledge in materials science, energy management and the man-machine interface. Every one of its take-offs, propelled silently by its four electric motors, inspires us to consider using clean, new technologies to free our society, little by little, from dependence on fossil energy.

Here you can download everything from a competition overview presentation to detailed Lesson Plans. You'll also find key tips, rules and checklists to take the hassle out of explaining the essential small print to your budding scientists."

"tailor Buzz Math for an individual student. Instead of just giving a whole class an activity/assignment (which you can also do), Buzz Math lets you choose which students to assign a standards based activity to. Duh! I can't believe more programs aren't set up this way. It makes sense to use technology to customize learning to the student this way. There is no reason not to!"
