PubTV’s Design Squad show was on hand to launch T-shirts into the air at last week’s Education Technology Showcase on Cap Hill. The fun with T-shirts showed how engineering could be “used to solve real-world problems,” reports TMCNet’s Education Technology page. In attendance were Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Senators Patty Murray, Jeff Bingaman, Kay Hagan and Ted Kaufman and other officials. The event, sponsored by the Education Technology Directors Association, highlighted programs funded by the National Science Foundation.
