From what I have read so far Robert Noyce
has started off his life as an avid thinker. He would make model planes and
gliders that were able to carry a small boy. His family moved a lot because of
the Great Depression but he was able to settle in Iowa in a city called
Grinnell. He was the Ladies boy and was very charming. He was also very smart.
When he went through high school he got straight A’s and was especially talented
in Physics and technology. During his study he made a huge mistake. He took a prize pig with his friends and murdered it. This got him suspended for a whole school semester.
If I
were to list three great human being they would be Lance Armstrong, Steve Jobs,
and Robert Noyce. Lance Armstrong because my dad is an avid rider. He also was able to survive cancer which is a great milestone in anybodies life. Steve Jobs
because he was able to make Apple which is now one of the greatest computer
company in the world. He had a brilliant mind and was one of those people who changed the world. Robert Noyce because with out him there would be no
Apple. He was able to invent the modern day microchip which is in the heart of all computers and devices today.
I choice Robert Noyce as my living history
project because he was able to create the modern day microchip. He also worked
in the top universities and passed high school with many honors with him. He
was named the Thomas Edison of silicon valley and he also invented intel.
This picture is google honoring Robert Noyce's anniversary. 
I think that it is cool that you are doing Robert Noyce because when you think about it, not many people know him and he invented the microchip! Without it we would not have computers. So I think that is is really awesome that in a way you are doing a unsung hero. :)
