Week 5 Day 25

This morning Dr. Bruce Hunter brought in three visitors from UAEM, Mexico.  We discussed the differences between the education system in the US vs the education system in Mexico.  It was very interesting to hear that in Mexico there is often a connection between several high schools and one university.  This means that if a student knew they wanted to be a doctor, they could begin the program in high school and then continue on to the university.  We look forward to seeing what other connections can be made between the RET program and the UAEM in Mexico, possibly even heading down to Toluca to experience the culture and participate in some environmental studies  





Here is our current progress on the xbee shield that we are attaching to our prototype so we can transmit data via a wireless sensor network.
