Anti Gravity??
Antigravity? What is anti-gravity? It is the question that has been raised
here at WDHS by three students. Ethan Rein,
Jim Bergren, and Luke Duncan, believe they answered that question while working on the 2002-2003 science fair project. They were looking at
the possibilities of antigravity. They competed,
with their project, in the Metro-Detroit Science
and Engineering Fair and won praise as well as awards. During their quest, they were in contact with many
scientists in the related fields throughout all of their
experimentation. Their experiments and studies
have arroused international media attention. They were
interviewed on Canadian Broadcasting (CBC), Channel 4 WDIV,
the Detroit News, as well as the local Heritage Newspaper.

The Paper Computer
The Paper Computer project was the 2001-2002 science fair project. The objective of this project was to attempt to see how feasable it would be to build a paper thin computer with the current technology of the day and where the technology was going. In our research we discovered that within a few years the technology would be readily available to build paper thin computing devices. This project won grand prize at the metro-detroit science fair and took us to compete in the Intel International Science Fair, held in Louisville, Kentucky, where we won cash prizes in awards including: best team project from IEEE and Best team project from ACM. The team was composed of 2 Juniors, Mark Stanislav, and James Turner, and a Sophmore, Luke Duncan.
The Wearable Computer
Meet Ralph. He is a fully functional computer,
that can surf the net, play games and write papers
at the same time as you walk down the hall, walk to
your car or as you're sitting in class. The only difference
between Ralph and your average desktop computer is that
Ralph can be strapped around your waist and worn, while a
desktop cannot be. Ralph has generated a lot interest for
our program and we're proud to have contributed to the
emerging field of wearable computing.
