A smiling little girl, with her eyes brightening, exclaimed, "I like Mindstorms now!" Though the girl had watched her brother on his robotics team before, she had seen little that held her interest. Moments before announcing her new-found fascination to her mother, she approached our team's robot, pressed the orange start button, and ran the LEGO NXT robot herself. She discovered the fun that FIRST LEGO League has promoted since 1999.
This was at the Waukesha County Fair where our team was privileged to bring that inspiration to her during our interactive demonstrations over the weekend. Young and old alike learned the benefits of being on an FLL team. From fun, to innovation, to teamwork and gracious professionalism, we shared how being on the T.E.A.M. helps young minds grow. Introducing robotics to fascinated youth and adults of all ages, and enlightening many to the world of robotics, our team looks forward to our next opportunity to share our passion for science, technology, engineering and math at the Wisconsin State Fair.
