Today 7-1 had a visit from a special scientist! Mr. Koste is a computer engineer who works on special inventions for the government. He brought in a fingerprint scanner and a camera we all had a chance to use! The fingerprint scanner copied our fingerprints and posted them as images on a laptop computer. We learned that everyone's fingerprints are different- even identical twins have different fingerprints! It was so cool to see our fingerprints enlarged on the computer screen!
We used the camera to take individual photos of us (and a group photo at the end of class). In real life the images produced from the camera and fingerprint scanner help to track down good guys and bad guys!
Thank you for visiting us, Mr. Koste! We had a blast learning about this special kind of science called engineering.
ENGINEERING: The profession of applying scientific principles to the design and construction of engines, cars, buildings, bridges, roads, and electrical machines.
