The IncrediBATS: A Survival Guide for your Hearing

Who are the IncrediBATs?
The IncrediBATs are a team of local (Toledo, Ohio) kids who are home-schooled.  They participate in The FIRST LEGO League (also known by the acronym FLL).  FLL an international competition for elementary and middle school students (ages 9–14 in the USA and Canada, 9-16 and Australia). Each year the contest focuses on a different real-world topic related to the sciences. Each challenge within the competition then revolves around that theme. The students work out solutions to the various problems they are given and then meet for regional tournaments to share their knowledge, compare ideas, and display their work.

The IncrediBATs contacted Kenwood Hearing Center to help them with this year's theme: Acoustics and Hearing.  Dr. Alison Friend was interviewed by the group of youngsters to help with their project.
