For the past two week, students participating in our NuVu "Superheroes" Summer Program in Lakeland, Florida, have been busy building their crazy SuperGizmos and imagining how their superheroes could use these fantastic gizmos. After many, many trips to Home Depot and other electronic stores, here are the students' superhero gizmos: This is Catbell giving a demo of her powerful tail and ears which she uses to fight crime. Both the ears and tail are controlled with a little joystick to the side of her belt.

This RC-controlled Dog can move fast, wag its tail, and bite, warding off any threatening person, animal or object!

This device uses a net to capture criminals.

The circular Glowing Shield can protect its superhero by deflecting bullets. It comes equipped with three rings of LEDs that change color constantly. The shield also has a secret pocket inside in which the superhero can store a Nerf gun and an automatic water (poison) dispenser.

This Grappling Hook is equipped with a strong winch that can lift around 400 pounds.

The Magic Watch, besides operating as a normal watch, has the capacity to distract criminals by producing an irritating noise. It also has a rader system that detects aliens!
