Inventor's Club Wins Lemelson-MIT Inventeams Grant

Congratulations to all the University High School Inventor's Club members for winning a Lemelson-MIT Inventeams Grant. You should definitely be proud. These prestigious awards only went out to 15 schools around the country. People in the Placencia area were excited to hear the news. I got this note from Alvin Henderson, co-owner of the Royal Maya Shrimp Farm.

"...Congratulations on winning the Lemelson-MIT grant for the algae recycling prototype! We have seen the encouraging results of the mangrove planting initiatives and hope that this new programme will meet with similar success.

Best regards,

Alvin"


The agenda for the next 8 months looks like this:

October 2009-January 2010: develop the prototype in Illinois

January 2009-May 2010: test the prototype in cooperation with Independence Jr. College at local shrimp farms

June 2010: Present results at the Inventeams conference in Boston

Time to get busy!
