There was a video segment tonight, but that is not up on the WCAX Web Site yet. Sal, as many of you know works at the Northwest Tech Center and below are a couple of lines from the article:
A mad dash for trash has Vermont teachers making some pretty strange items out of recycled goods.
"As people use their bathroom and we are all offended by the odor, this item would be plugged in and just take that odor out of the air and everyone would be happy again," said Sal Wiggin of Northwest Tech Center in St. Albans.
It's just one of a handful of inventions crafted Wednesday at Champlain College. The exercise is part of a week of workshops sponsored by the Vermont Small Business Development Center. They're aimed at helping teachers incorporate business skills into their lesson plans.
