 It's the last day of camp people. Which means this is also the last morning blog. It's bittersweet. Day 10 Everybody smile, it's Friday!! And I know some of you barely made it, but don't worry, today is going to be fun! Today doesn't have a theme because it's showcase day!! Wanna know about an odd showcase? "In Sweden exists the Museum of Failure. Their collection showcases products that have failed to sell or like up to the hype, such as Google Glass, Trump: the Board Game, Colgate frozen dinners, and Betamax." ( showcase facts ). Today is the showcase which means you'll be displaying a project you made during camp. This is similar to showcases in the CS field. There are conferences where people go to show off their newest tech and try to get funding to mass produce it. This is where up and coming technology is showed off. That's the end of the last blog. Have fun today!
