08\/26\/2016: NSF-Funding for\u00a0I-Corps L Compressible Flow Water Table gave us the chance to explore the\u00a0hypothesis that the water table is a useful invention to reinforce high school and community college education. The hypothesis was\u00a0tested by conducting 100 interviews with relevant and potential customers.<\/p>\n
