Paper Computing Among the Young

PpCNerds writes: "On April 10th, 2002, Dearborn High School students Mark Stanislav, Luke Duncan, and James Turner won First Place Gold in the Science and Engineering Fair of Metropolitan Detroit with their 'Paper Computer' Practical Application project. Many may remember the Paper Computer from past Slashdot and Wired Magazine articles. With the help from friend and Computer Engineering student Alex Fisher, who is also quite handy at this sort of thing (Wearable Computer), the group of geeks were able to turn this project into a success in the eyes of SEFMD judges with 2 and 1/2 months of research and contacting people in the field. This win takes Mark, Luke, and James to the Intel sponsored International competition in Louisville, Kentucky."

...the group of geeks were able to turn this project...

Sure, label them geeks on one a large, national web site. That will go over real big in the locker room at High School...

Fortunately for them, most high school jocks don't read Slashdot.

Yeah but what self respecting jock will own up to /.?

"He's a geek!" "How do you know?" "Uh..."

I'll take a notebook full of paper computers

And I'll just write "A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer" on the front cover.
