Lego Tournament Highlights

We had a fantastic turnout for the Library's first LEGO Tournament today! Boys, girls, Moms, Dads, Grandparents were all creating unusual, unique, and fun projects. Lots of participants talked together and shared ideas, parents networked, and everyone stuffed themselves with the muffins Ms. Linda baked. It was quite a sight to see so many young people and adults working together in our library. And think about the creativity it took to complete some of these projects!

A team of four boys showed us the robots they built and programmed for competitions. They also talked about what was expected at meets, and shared their skit that was part of the work the presented. It was amazing the to see their robots knock down walls, pick up rings, and move around the competition board. They would love to see some parents organize a local team, as there are very few small town, Central Illinois teams. I have information at the Library for anyone interested. Just stop by my office.

Thank you all for sharing your morning to make this event a success. We certainly will plan to have another LEGO Day in the future. If you have any suggestions or comments, just email me or tell me about them the next time you come to the Library.
