Today I took them to the Edgewood Library for a look at the Tech-Brick Team's Lego Presentation.
It was touch and go today as to whether we would actually get there. Everyone was just not up to speed as far as the schoolwork was concerned. I was holding the Lego deal over their heads and they just managed to finish in time.
The First Lego League is a team that competes in Lego Robotics competitions. They are 9 to 14 years old and this particular team is all homeschooled kids.
They are really good!They compete in several different areas. There is programming, a public speech to the judges, and demonstrations. The kids have to do it all.
Lego provides a kit and a theme every year. The kids have to create the rest.
There is also a younger age bracket that just builds projects based on a theme.
Can you guess what it was this year?
So we are looking into joining a couple of teams. John would be on the older and Brendan and Paul would start with the younger kids.Earlier today John put his Lego guys to work portraying one of the Joyful Mysteries.
Can you guess which one?
Hint: Anakin is Jesus, Lea is Mary, and the various other figures are the elders who were amazed.
