Clarksburg High School InvenTeam members gathered during the first week of school to talk about their summer trip to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, their invention and where they are headed with it.
They were too excited about the reception their Torch Cord, a USB cable that lights up when touched, got at the EurekaFest festival at MIT to rest on their laurels.
The team, seven boys and two girls plus their faculty sponsors, spent four days at MIT in Cambridge, Mass., in June at the festival, which was sponsored by MIT and the Lemelson Foundation to inspire creativity and problem solving. The foundation was established by inventor Jerome Lemelson to encourage the inventive spirit.
