12/9/08 - 12/12/08 - The American Seed Trade Association's Seed Expo 2008

Attending the American Seed Trade Association's Seed Expo 2008 and 63rd Corn & Sorghum Research Conference was a fantastic experience for the Teen Technology MIT InvenTeam. Many thanks to all – your thoughts and advice were very beneficial to our research and developments. Thank you to Dr. Jeff Dahlberg for making such an experience possible!

In particular, it was very enriching to the team to speak with representatives from all branches of the industry. The vast breadth of the conference encompassed everything from digital seed-scanning software to colossal combines. Such a variety allowed our team to gain a comprehensive outlook on the agricultural industry as a whole – an outlook that could not be gained by merely reading encyclopedias or perusing websites.

The representatives of all companies were particularly helpful. Even if our research did not pertain to their branch of the industry, they gave us useful information about their own projects and experiences, and also directed us to individuals who worked on projects relevant to our own. The MIT InvenTeam would like to again sincerely thank them for their efforts. There is no substitute in the realm of invention for an expert's insight on a project idea.
