Mind Storms!

OK I had never heard of this program until Reb told me about it.  Its so cool, The boys are sponsored by there school to build a LEGO'S robot. The team gets a bunch of Lego's with a brain and they build a robot.  The boys then program the robot to do certain missions. This year the missions were focused on the environment.  They programed the robot to save a polar bear, move a house out of harms way and build a bridge. Josh's team was made up with 5 kids and one coach. The coach is not allowed to help the boys only to refocus them when they get side tracked.  I have to admit Coach Matt did a great job I would of gone nuts!  They worked on the robot for months. But the best part for the kids and adults was the competition day. It was so fun! these kids who compete in this program are amazing! The winners from Clovis were a group of 9yrs they are now going to nationals in GA. It was great to watch how much Josh has grown during this project.  He can't stop building and using the Lego program on the computer! He can't wait until next year!
