This blog is about all things LEGO®, Mindstorms & teaching kids to learn and be curious about the world around them & become good problem solvers. I'll be writing about classes, camps & tournaments such as Junior FIRST LEGO League, FIRST LEGO League and FIRST Tech Challenge.
Last Saturday we participated in the Cool Science Festival at UCCS. I think it's getting more crowded at this festival. The Gazette reported that there were 7,000 attendees this year. That's a big jump. I brought along a couple of Mindstorms to do Spin Art with the kids and the FTC team build a terrific Rube Goldberg ball contraption. They had spent over 50 man hours on this and could have spent even more. Thank goodness for deadlines!
Here's a video of the contraption.
Staring intently at the ball machine. "Where can I buy that kit?"
The ball machine always needs some fixing or tweaking.
Maybe he'll go home and try building one of his own.
Spin art was a hit. We spun over 400 masterpieces.
