Robotics

We tried out a class at the Adventure Science Center yesterday. For Monkey and Buster, it was a repeat of classes they have done before, but always enjoyed. Buster had a chance to work on the robot and the programming on his own, which was his special request. Monkey did a great job helping Yessa get things put together.

As is generally the case, though, there just wasn’t enough time for the kids to do the programming they were interested in, nor could they take a break and come back to it when they chose…as adults in the real world do. We’re investigating acquiring a Mindstorms set to have at home which will allow more programming options and use by everyone individually, including me. I might decide I want to be a developer, too.

Bwahahaha…just kidding.
