ExploraVision is a science competition available to K-12 grade students and is sponsored by NSTA (National Science Teachers Association) and the Toshiba Corporation. Teams of three to four students take a present technology and project what it will be like 20 years in the future. In 1995 4-J students won this competition in the K-3 category!! A team of four students invented a futuristic toothbrush called "The Terrific Toothbrush." We also made it to the semi-final level in 1998 with an invention called "CHOU" (Computerized Healthful Oral Utensil) which was a feeding utensil that would feed the handicapped and elderly.
