Too bad it didn't happen in school!
Toronto teens Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad worked during four months' worth of free Saturdays to put together their balloon-borne experimental package, including four cameras, a cell phone with a GPS, a home-made parachute and a Lego figure holding a Canadian flag.
Lego Man returned from his 80,000 feet (how many miles is that), 65-minute flight, with a cache of video and still images. Rather than simply consuming the creations of others via an iPad, for example, these teens put together a remarkable display of creativity, ingenuity, and wise use of a limited cash supply. The whole flight was put together for under $500.
Put those iPads away and get your imaginations back out. ;-)
