My first experience with debilitating heat was when I was given a project to install a wireless language lab in school buses. This was an experiment. A school board wanted to try to create a way for kids that had very long commutes to school to officially fulfill one class.

Instead of high school kids wasting time in a bus for two hours each day, they could learn a language and get credit for it. I thought it was a great idea. I just didn't appreciate how difficult it would be to make their vision a reality.
