{iFairground Team Coaches}

Sheryl Hinman
Sheryl is a teacher in Galesburg High School.
"What impressed me the most about this team is its ability to listen to each other. Everyone was open to the ideas generated through brainstorming. Robin continually amazed me with his leadership skills--he kept the coaches and his team mates motivated and upbeat! I loved reading and reacting to the copy being written. The flow of ideas was continuous. I would sometimes come home from a day's work and find ten or more messages. What communicators!"
"You are the only teacher you will ever have."

Cameron Taggart
Cameron Taggart is an undergraduate within the Business School at the University of Washington. He will be graduating in June of 2001 with a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration (BABA), Information Systems Option. He has been to many annual fairs in Salem, OR and Yakima, WA, but more impressive is that he has been to three Disney Theme Parks including Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and Tokyo Disneyland. Someday, he hopes to take his little sister, Angela, to a Six Flags for all the hard work she has done on this website. For now, he enjoys getting his thrills from fast single track mountain bike trails, rather than from roller coasters. When Cameron is not coaching, attending classes, or building websites, he enjoys road biking, inline skating, and basketball. This is his second year coaching ThinkQuest Internet Challenge teams. His primary area of expertise is web application development with tools like PHP and MySQL.
Jonah Peretti
Jonah Peretti is a graduate student researcher at the MIT Media Lab where he develops new educational technologies. He is currently working on Teacher's LAB, a platform for authoring and sharing lesson plans. For three years, he was a teacher at the Newman School in New Orleans. In his opinion, the most frightening amusement park ride is the Drop Zone free fall ride at Great America in California.
