Building, one brick at a time

Through school, Odin has been involved in a lego engineering club. It is a part of the first lego league. Each year there is a theme and the students build a model that will be helpful to some aspect of the theme. This year the theme was natural disasters. Odin and another student worked together and decided to build a large fan on top of a bridge to blow away tsunamis.
 It has been so much fun for him to learn and build and play each week. A few weeks ago, the club went to the expo  (much like a science fair). There were also robots made by high school robotics teams to look at and a police bombot, a bomb diffusing robot.  It was a great event that got me (and Odin) excited about engineering and robotics.
