NORAD Santa Tracker

This week's fun tech trivia question!


Question: The now famous NORAD Santa Tracker started in 1955 - how??? (hint - it was an accident!)


Leave your guesses below and check back later today for the answer!


Answer: The NORAD Santa Tracker began in due to a typo in a Sears ad that mistakenly directed children to a military hotline. Colonel Harry Shoup, the officer on duty, played along and "tracked" Santa's journey, delighting callers. The tradition grew, and today, NORAD uses modern technology to bring Santa's Christmas Eve travels to life for millions worldwide. #funfact


Why "Dooley?"

Inspired by the founder's alma mater - Emory University's spirit mascot, Dooley represents the voice of the student body. And when Dooley shows up to your class, you can count on a fun time and the rest of the day off!
