Follow Our Travels

We started this blog while we were getting ready for the World Festival in Atlanta in 2010 so that our FLL friends could take the trip with us - virtually, of course!

Now we're using this site to share our "travels" as the FLL World Champions with fellow FLLers! We can share our ideas, advice and experiences to help spread the good news about FLL!

The USA Science and Engineering Festival

We had a great time at our exhibit at the first ever USA Science and Engineering Festival on the National Mall in Washington DC on October 23 and 24! We were fortunate to be part of FIRST's booth promoting FIRST programs. The crowds were amazing. In line with our goal of getting more kids involved with science and engineering programs, we talked to everyone - parents and kids - about the advantages of a science program like FLL, we demonstrated our robot and our SMARTwheel as examples of how far kids can go in engineering, and taught people how to program robots. We estimate over 20,000 people came by our booth in two days!

Just look at the crowds!


Here we are with our friends from FIRST!
