The NASA competition called on students to find creative ways to use space technology in their everyday lives. The teens said they considered dozens of ideas but settled on a water purification system because they noticed some water fountains in their school could not be used because of potential lead contamination.

They worked at the Inclusive Innovation Incubator a technology lab focused on diversity and entrepreneurship near Howard University where they volunteer, and their mentor at the incubator encouraged them to compete and supervised them on weekends as they built a prototype.

The teens purchased two jars, placing meters in each to test the purity of the water. In one jar, the teens place shards of copper in the water with the copper acting as the experimental contaminant. An electric fan spins the water while filtering floss a type of fiber collects contaminated particles. Once clean, the water is transferred by a straw into the second jar. The meters verify that the water is clean, and the teens said they trust their system so much, they drank the water.

The filtration system is based on NASA technology used to develop automatic pool purifiers.

Ours actually shows you that the water you are drinking is clean, Snell said.


By far the best entry, by the way. Fantastic any way you look at it.

I can't wait till we are all just one race, if that ever happens, so we can just shut the fuck up about the race shit. Obviously, people can't get over their hangups, so let's find something else to bicker over. Once race is no longer an issue, it'll be something else. Probably location, or some stupid shit. I mean, that's already a thing, but maybe we'll just get more of it. Goddamned humans.

Those Sneeches have stars on their bellies, we don't have stars.

"If you mention your race in a positive way, you open yourself up for trolls"

This is the race troll version of "she shouldn't of worn that if she didnt want the attention"

Lmao fuck outta here


That's pretty funny, because if this were a group of a white boys who wanted people to vote for them over their black female competitors based on their race/gender, I doubt you'd think people criticizing them were trolls. In fact, I'm quite positive you'd be the first to call those boys racist.


Cool, bro


I'm glad you agree with me.


Keep shining, race troll diamond. I dont bite anymore. I'm here to take odds on your next suspension


You don't bite because your arguments are as toothless as your insults towards me.

And please take odds. Given that I've never once been suspended, I'm sure this will pay off for you as well as your victim posting has.


Somebody come get their mans. Hes too deep into the coors again

Ah, here he starts with the subtle "Coors Light" racism again. Guess he stopped posting "Skoal" after his racism got modded.

Post 143 is moddable flaming.


Same with 15, 22, and 51.

I don't see how calling someone 'too sensitive' is considered flaming.

Calling someone a 'race troll' certainly is flaming now though.


Calling someone boy or chief is flaming now, so yeah constantly using sensitive as a bludgeon should fall pretty neatly into the circle as well

Average joe is a trolling term since it is an opinion. Over achieving is also an opinion.

I believe it is possible to think this: 4chan is a cesspool and this situation is just further evidence of that.

And also ask this at the same time: Why did these girls feel the need to bring up their gender and race unsolicited?

Congrats you have good reasoning skills

tbh they have bled into enough of the other boards that the distinction doesn't really need to be made anymore. Just make a topic about making an Africa-centric D&D setting on /tg/ and watch the /pol/ guys blot out the sun with their shitposting.


It's generally worth it to keep in mind that a big chunk of that is invariably gonna be people just trolling because they know how much /pol/ pisses everyone else off.

I say "generally" because in this case the trolling affected someone's real life. Impossible to know what amount of the votes were from trolls, but there's no need to distinguish here.

The only actual soft racism in this topic is Frisbee starting in with his Coors Light and Skoal shit because he believes the stereotype that trashy white people use those products. That's also the tell-tale sign that he's lost the conversation and is melting down.

Nothing racist was posted before that.

Posted this twice now. If you think my first post in this topic was trolling in any form, sounds like you need to join the club and use the ignore list. Otherwise take your own advice and stop posting about me.

1. How is calling your posting a meltdown an example of 'peddling soft racism'?
2. I live in Toronto not New York.

People here have this weird idea that putting obvious trolls/worthless posters on their ignore list is somehow "weak."

It makes as much sense as leaving a pile of your pet dog's shit on the living room floor because you want to prove to whoever cares (read: literally nobody) that the smell doesn't bother you.

Not weak, ineffective. Doesn't help to put someone on your ignore list when they are every second or third post in every topic.

And yet every time it's brought up there's a strong chance the phrase "thin-skinned" gets used in response. It's obvious why the trolls say it - they need people to see them for their tactics to work, otherwise they're just shitting up an empty room, maybe have a dreaded moment of self-reflection where they realize how worthless their lives are.

Either way, it isn't every topic.

It's thin-skinned to whine about someone in every single topic or post about a user 7 times in one thread like TC did.

Much of this board would benefit from using the ignore list since they can't control themselves otherwise. I wish a lot of you guys would use it.

I saw that thread. I think their logic was that they were countering another thing that was voting for them simply because they were black and that they were stickin it to them ess jay dabble yous! Really though, they were probably a bunch of racists and dumbasses. I didn't open the thread to find out more, but it was a pretty safe bet.

Though public online voting shouldn't be a thing for making actually important decisions anyway. What were they thinking with that one?

As for my posts, it's not trolling just because a perfectly reasonable and non-inflammatory post upsets you. That's just you needing to use the ignore list like your fellow users here who have no emotional control whatsoever.

First off, kudos to these girls. I love seeing students accomplish innovations like this, and I'm really proud of them. I hope they have a bright future ahead.

Now, here is what I see as part of the problem. These girls are the ones who introduced their race and gender into the mix by mentioning it in this tweet initially:
https://twitter.com/Mmmikaylaaa__/status/988555577386262528/photo/1

I don't really see why they deserve any special acknowledgment for that, since their accomplishment stands on itself. But once you open the door to "vote for us because we're black and female," you are opening the door to people voting against them for the same reason. There was no reason to ever bring identity politics into this in the first place.

None of this excuses the idiots at 4chan in any form, BTW.


Lmao, you can't rationalize this shit. They didn't open the door for anything.
