from
NZ Stuff:
bq. Steven McCabe has spent more time tinkering away in his garage than concentrating on his school studies this year.
bq. "Yeah I've slacked off," the 17-year-old Morrinsville College student admits.
bq. But after spending 100 days over the past two years in his garage – crammed with old computers, a spa, and hundreds of circuit boards – Steven has built a 60kg submarine which has kick-started his career.
bq. Last week the 1.5m long remote-operated vessel (ROV) won Steven the Institution of Professional Engineers New Zealand award at the Genesis Energy national science competition for secondary schools.
Very cool stuff!
