Fishing For Kids – Kite and Rocket Research

Fishing For Kids

A few of our interns embedded a high-intensity LED and a battery in a ping-pong ball and dangled it out the window on a piece of fishing string. It ended up drawing the attention some kids who were waiting with their parents outside the Chinese restaurant below us. This is not my proudest moment as the CEO of Kite and Rocket.
