Holt Beats IBM Super-computer 'Watson'!!

Since Congressman Rush Holt visited LIS a while back to check out our educational technology program in 6th grade, some of our students have been interested in following him. They recently brought to my attention the fact that he was the lone member of Congress to defeat IBM Super-computer, 'Watson' in a round of Jeopardy! Watson defeated several former Jeopardy! champions as well as a handful of U.S. Representatives from Congress before meeting his match with Congressman Holt.
