about martin goes to mount everest

Martin GT Magnet Middle School is going to Everest!  We are “traveling” with Chip Popoviciu, who is a local Cisco engineer. As Chip makes the trek from Raleigh to Nepal, attempting to Summit Everest in May, we will communicate with each other through innovative technologies. We will be blogging about our experiences in the classroom, as we all journey as a team to the top of the world!

For more detailed background information on the Everest project, visit the following websites:
