We share our experiences with others

We went to Cool Science on Saturday and it was a day of non-stop talking for our kids. They interacted with hundreds of people young and old. It was such a neat event to get share with the public both the research and the robot game with the folks who came by. Kudos to the organizers who made our lives so much easier by providing wonderful volunteers and food & water.

I was so proud of all the boys who participated. For some, it was a stretch to talk to so many different people in one two hour time slot, but I absolutely think it's a terrific skill to acquire. Everybody was so nice to the boys and were genuinely interested in the MIndstorms and all they had to say about food safety.

My favorite moment of the day was when this 6 year old boy saw the robot retrieving the fish back into base. His jaw dropped wide open when he saw that. I missed catching the picture, but I did get a photo of the boy with his mom as he stayed to continue watching the robot retrieve fish.
