Hi all,
The news this week was Ben's. He has been in the Lego Robotics club at JM high school that is run by IBM. They build and then program robots to solve certain problems. They download the program into the robot and see if the robot can solve it. Their final competition was last night. There were about 125 teams of middle and high school kids entering robots in the competition. It was geek heaven!!! Ben's high school had two teams. They did really well but did not place. Ben was his team's master builder and did a wonderful job on the short term problem where they received an envelope that described the problem and then the kids had 40 minutes to rebuild and re-program their robots. The kids on Ben's team are all the same age as Ben and in 9th grade. Very cool and another instance of "I never knew" there was such a thing.
