VISI Joins Pilot STEM Summit

By Stephanie Jones | April 24, 2009

Yesterday, VISI exhibited at the TwinWest Chamber’s pilot STEM summit - an event that brought together over 75 St. Louis Park ninth-graders with area businesses that focus on Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. This smaller event will lead into a larger STEM event in December.

The goal of the program is to stimulate interest in the mention subject areas, and to promote the relevance between these interests and future career choices.  VISI’s exhibit featured members from our hosting services department, including manager, Ralph Awad and had students interacting with the VISI advergame: Interstellar Pizza Express. Ralph’s team was on hand to explain their role in what the game demonstrates.

The students were also asked challenge questions. How many riddles can you answer?

1. What is a computer’s first sign of age?
2. What does a baby computer call it’s father?
3. What is an astronaut’s favorite key on a computer board?
4. What happened when the computer fell on the floor?
5. Why was there a bug in the computer virus?
6. What is a computer virus?
7. How did the mouse get out of the Russian Cathedral?
