A
High-tech High School
A small high school in Minnesota, US, is turning out some of the world's most advanced(先进的)technology.

The school encourages students to explore the technical world. More than 200 young talents have built an ethanol-fueled(乙醇为燃料的)car and a prosthetic(义肢的)foot that was used by the world's top Paralympic(残奥会)skiers.
Now these tech students are working on a new project. They're designing a washing machine. They hope it will be accepted by NASA for use on the International Space Station and, eventually, on manned missions to Mars.
The challenge is to come up with an effective way to wash clothes in an environment where air and water can't mix and soap can't be used. The team has already built a system using a series of pumps(泵) and vacuum chambers(真空室), but NASA fears it might not be strong enough.
Luke Becker, Braham Area High's technology teacher, thinks his team has come up with a new solution that will work. But he has kept it a secret, not wanting to give competitors an inside look.
The washing machine isn't the only NASA project the students are working on. They're also designing and building a tracking system (跟踪系统) that NASA has already promised to use during space flights. They're also designing an automated feeding system for mice in space. NASA often takes mice into space to test the effects of zero gravity and other outer space conditions.
“It's a unique experience that most high school students don't get,”said Ben Carlson, a 15-year-old who specializes in electrical components(电子元件),“We start with bare metal and a design on a piece of paper, and it all comes together.”
