The Clarksburg team's presentation of their Torch Cord was well received by the assembled inventors, engineers and other student teams.
"A lot of people thought our presentation was really different," Saha said. "We talked about our invention and did a light show at the end. People liked the light show so they came back later to see the invention."
The light show was a perfect way to present the Torch Cord since it is a cable wrapped in black electrical tape and covered with a spiral of neon glow wire. In the darkened auditorium the show made a memorable impact, the students said.
"We wanted to make ourselves unique while trying to look professional," Saha said.
