They were very impressed with our project and our modern computer facility. We are using 15 year old Tandy computers. The Lyceum of
Humanitarian Sciences has 15 computers, but no internet access.
Steve F. Welcomes Sabina and her visiting exchange students 
Ann Marie, student team leader, presents to our Russian visitors "Remember the Maine", a multimedia video depicting the destruction of the Battleship Maine.

Ann Marie and Ileana presented Why is the Mona Lisa Smiling? At the Classroom of the Future Session, on behalf of the ThinkQuest students who created the site, at the School Tech Expo at the Hilton in New York.
