Chris was obviously on top of his subject here; I could have mistaken him for an Intel engineer! His project, using a computer chip and sensors to dynamically control electromagnets and create stable levitation, was very impressive, and the wow-factor had a crowd surrounding him at all times. Plus, it just looks like magic! Awesome!

Thanks to Intel for bringing me to this great event!
