TARUS presents final work on the HammoGlow idea by Ariana from Krause Elementary School of Armada School District. The MISD Little Inventors Event was held at Macomb Community College.
TARUS and Ariana worked on her idea called "HammoGlow" for months. It's a combination swing and hammock that generates electricity as the swing moves. The electricity generated lights up lights on the swing and can charge batteries for mobile phones.
The final reveal came at the Macomb CC event with a full-sized HammoGlow as well as a 3D printed version.
Ariana was joined by her parents and Kellee Witgen, Science & Engineering teacher from Krause Elementary. Also in attendance were the other chosen projects from the MISD Little Inventors Challenge. The event was packed with students, family and teachers with standing-room-only capacity.
"We at TARUS were thrilled to be part of an event where ideas from a 4th grade student are brought to life." Stated George Cook, Vice President at TARUS. He went on to say: "People who work at companies like TARUS are problem solvers and thinkers. Most tinkered with ideas and built things dating back to their childhood. Programs like MISD's Little Inventors Challenge builds the imagination of the next generation of engineers and problem solvers. It takes an idea and shows that 4th grade class how it comes to life. It's such a great program for their future."
