Mini Project: InteractiveTimeline for the Electric Car Submitted by Sue Mellon
1. Using the timeline created by PBS (link below) as a starting point, identify five key events for this invention and create a one minute audio file for each identified event using Audacity. The audio file should contain at least three pieces of information outside of the scope of the timeline. Keep a record of your references for this additional information.

2. After creating an audio file, develop a robotic icon for each event. You will use Robot Diaries to make this interactive exhibit of your research. This exhibit will work much like those seen in museums. You may use the distance sensor or some other means to trigger the start of your exhibit.
