Liquid Crystal Presentations are almost here!

I had fun today watching the hustle & bustle of last-minute preparations for the Liquid Crystal Design Challenge. Today was the last class work day to perfect research, design, and presentation plans - so everybody be ready on Tuesday (9/2) to pitch their product!

But I had to share the most entertaining product-testing that I saw...

Creepy Doll Alert!!

The idea was actually pretty clever. They designed a liquid crystal to be used as a foot-arch-tester. But the size limitations I have on the project prevented them from building one big enough for a human foot. So instead, they brought in a doll & a heat lamp. They heated up the doll foot to simulate body temperature, then pressed the doll foot onto the liquid crystal square to show its arch. Great idea....but still....that doll talked, laughed, & sang. It. Was. Creepy.

I can't wait to see what everyone has come up with on Tuesday! 

Enjoy the 3-day weekend =)
