This morning, the school's Facebook page featured a photo spread by the talented Cathy Avalone, photojournalist for the New Haven Register, and the following description of the program:
Focused on building an interest in science and engineering in children, JPII FIRST® LEGO® League Robotics Program is a hands-on program designed to capture young children's curiosity and direct it toward discovering how science and technology impact the world around them.
This program features a real-world challenge, to be explored through research, critical thinking and imagination. Guided by adult coaches, team members work with LEGO elements and motorized parts to build ideas and concepts and present them for review.
She's in this photo, just behind the boy with the remote. I just wish I could see her face.

The amount of opportunities these kids will find if they continue down this path is endless. The tech companies in Manchester are telling the school department they need exactly this so they can hire the talent they are struggling to find now and keep their business's in Manchester. I think Dean Kamen would love this post!!
Kathy, I was thinking of Dean also...this is so great. It is like a cross between playing with toys while building a base for higher education in what will be a very competitive field. Good going, Elizabeth! Grammy L
