Maya has returned from Olin College for the Thanksgiving break.  I got to hear all about her latest school project, an automatic coffee maker (the “Flavorista”) that dispenses a cup onto a conveyor belt that moves it under a stand holding the ground coffee beans into which a robotically controlled nozzle dispenses hot water, in a spiral pattern, over the grounds.  I can’t wait to see her project in action.  She also shared details of her recent trip to Seattle where she was hosted by Blue Origin, a company she has decided would make for a great summer internship.
