TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Innovative UCONN students could be sending their work to the moon!
Since the first Grammy Awards ceremony in 1959, the statuette presented to winners is a gold-plated gramophone, also known as a phonograph or record player. The name Grammy is an homage to the gramophone and its revolutionary impact on the music industry.
Some innovative students at UCONN could be part of NASA history. NASA has challenged college students around the country to come up with a rover that can navigate the surface of the moon. A group of students at UCONN will be spending the rest of the spring and summer designing and developing their concept for a lunar rover! This will be the first time UCONN has competed in the BIG Idea Challenge for NASA. They’re getting $150,000 to fund the project.
Good luck guys!

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why is it called the Grammys?
Congrats to all the Grammy winners last night. Olivia Rodrigo and Silk Sonic both took home multiple awards. But why are they called the “Grammys” anyway?
It goes back to the first Grammy Awards in 1959. The trophy they made resembled a gold plated gramophone, also known as a photograph or record player. It’s still that shape to this day. The word “Grammy” was a tribute to the name of the gramophone which had a massive impact on music at the time.
