It’s been done. https://jacob-hoover.com/2017/05/09/gradcap-drone/

Oh great just what we needs. More pesky drones.

M. I. T…..P. H. D….

M.O.N.E.Y.

(To the Mickey Mouse Club song.)

Get all the drones you can but Ninja Sloth will still evades you.

Throwing them up in the air is only out of tradition. It’s unnecessary – since these could just take off or launch on their own power.

Guy recently converted his to a quadcopter. https://www.hackster.io/news/drone-first-becomes-a-graduation-cap-and-then-an-rc-car-eff0667362ae

Cute.

Made me remember the parent’s assembly at freshman orientation at Colorado School of Mines years ago. The president of the college was assuring parents that the school was cognizant of their student’s needs and told the following joke: “What is the difference between an introvert engineer and an extrovert engineer?” “The extrovert looks at ‘your’ shoes when he is talking to you.”

Going to be different. AR and IR generated by AI.

Funny one, Mark! Thank you.

My grandson’s graduation wasn’t like that; they just had tons of confetti.

WPI alum here. Can confirm.

Having attended an engineering school, this seems perfectly normal.

Razzle-Tassle.

Dear Mark, you’ve spent way too much time at the frat house…

Love it! Such fun! Thanks for the laugh.

I see a new MIT tradition developing. Or maybe Clemson.

wish I could share this one

Since I was the only one in the engineering school to graduate at the end of summer session, I had them mail me my diploma. Besides, even if I had walked nobody in my family would have come to my graduation.

Mark Rober did that for MIT

Looks like someone watched Mark Rober’s MIT commencement speech last week.
