The secret is a human-size hamster wheel that’s attached to a giant wooden construction crane. The project is part of a series for the Discovery Channel called Engineering the Impossible. A preview of the series will be shown Thursday at LITE. Carroll and his students will be in attendance. CONTACT: Dr. Chris Carroll, 482-1118. MEDIA COVERAGE IS INVITED |
