Discovery Lab at the FSU Hackathon

The Discovery Lab participated in the FSU held Discovery Lab for 2014. We went to represent FIU in one of Florida’s biggest hackathons. It was a great opportunity for FIU students to proudly show their skills in programming and their quick wit for problem solving.

Mega TV Visits the DiscoveryLab

The Discovery Lab was visited by Mega TV for an interview with the Telebot. Mega TV is one of the biggest Hispanic channels in South Florida and is viewed by thousands of people. They wanted to show a more comedic side to our project and we performed a few skits for the camera. It was a great opportunity to demonstrate the developmental progress of the Telebot as well as to bring attention to FIU and the Discovery Lab through the field of entertainment. It was a pleasure having them with us.
