NJ TRANSIT MEETING

Meeting with NJ Transit

Today we met with NJ Transit in Jersey City, NJ to demonstrate our research project dealing with train safety. They were impressed and we were encouraged by their enthusiasm. They gave our team a boost of confidence that will propel us forward as we get ready to leave for the World Festival. We also learned so much regarding train safety and how things are done in the NJ Transit system. We want to thank the group of men that we met with for giving of their time today.

Today we participated in Morris County 4-H Sciencesational Day! It was a great experience for our team and for the 35 kids (grades 4-6) that took part in our workshops. We hoped to give them an exposure to Lego Robotics and maybe even help to start some future FLL teams. We think we have done just that as many parents asked how to start a team. The Morris County 4-H has also offered to make a donation to our trip to Atlanta. This is great news as our fundraising efforts have not gone as well as we expected.

4-H Science and Technology Day

We are less than three weeks away from our trip to Atlanta, Georgia for the First Lego League World Festival. We are starting to get excited, nervous, stressed out and even a bit panicked.

Our robot is ready with a possible score of 400 (if all goes well).

We will be spending this Saturday at County College of Morris for the 4-H Technology Day. We will be giving three workshops to about 25 kids, hoping to get them excited about FLL and robotics.

Please keep checking back for updates when we get to Atlanta, April 14-18
