This event is a very good opportunity to see the technology and inventions that our youth create today.

If you have time please visit this event. I think they will have food and drinks available but I'm not sure of that.

I'm going to do my best to be there.

Hope to see you there to support our youth.

this was a great event.

Kids thru adults had a great time racing their hand-made non-motorized cars.

They had a demo of their robot and one of my sons commentated on the team build and it's operation, another of my sons produced a projected video synopsis of the team and robot being built.

All-n-All it was a good time, it's not many people involved though, I would like to see this grow, and wish them the best.
