We were quite impressed! When I was in primary school, lego meant ordinary legos. This kids are programming robotic legos!
Did you as a kid also admired your neighbour's invention, just like this kid here?
Oh man... my lego sure did not look like this when I was young! This is programmable and can move according to what was programmed into it!

So... did you play with Lego when you were young?
wow those are impressive inventions! those kids nowadays are so smart and talented. the most inventive stuff i did as a kid is probably designing clothes for my barbie doll collections...
ReplyDeleteYes, I loved my Lego sets, though I always wanted the one with the motor that my older sibling had! Plus, it had only yellow and black bricks, which made it look so much more grown up and sophisticated compared to my primary colors one... Ah, the good old days!

If I remember correctly, a friend of mine's sons go to this thing called Lego Olympics or some such. I never understood it, but it must be something like this. Life and learn.
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos!!
ReplyDeleteThese kids are amazing. I was still picking my nose at their age. :-)
Quincy had their Lego FIRST competition in December also. (See: http://quincydailyphoto.blogspot.com/2007/12/lego-robotics-meet.html I wish I got as close a look as you did. I think our future looks promising with these young minds at the helm. The spirit of cooperation alongside competition in this program is impressive. Do you also have FIRST Robotics programs in your city?
ReplyDeletemeg,
ReplyDeletewow, Lego Olympics too?
Ming,

Slim,
most schools have some sort of robotics program. that's what I heard from my sis. the school that she teaches in has one.
