A Great Learning Experience!

The trip to Channel 3 was a great experience for parents and students alike!
There were seven or eight teams participating - each team got to run their robot three times.
During the first run, parents got a tour of the studio - we got to see all the behind the scenes stuff from the news room, to the control room, to the editing bays. Later on, the kids got to visit with two of the meteorologists, Paul Barys and Neal Pascal, and ask them questions about climate change. It was a wonderful day, we learned a LOT about what needs to be done to be ready for Cookeville. Thanks to Mr. Odom and all the parents who came and helped out!

Almost There - still need help

Wow, the competition is coming up QUICK! We have a few more practices we will need snacks at, and we need to think of a giveaway we can put together or purchase soon. If we want each kid to have 10 things to hand out/swap, we will need 12o (to include alternates). Any ideas? These should be small enough to stick in your pocket, but the 'wow' factor is fun! Anything we do will need to have our team name, and perhaps school name and city on it. If you have a suggestion or idea, please email me or leave a comment here!

SNACKS - Thanks to Leigh Ann Coats who is paying attention and noticed nobody stepped up for Thursday, so she offered to handle Tues and Thurs herself.
We will need extra snacks for the week after Thanksgiving - that will be a long week with long practices and good 'brain food' is always appreciated.

We also usually have a large cooler full of cold water bottles go on the bus with us, if anyone can get that together, please shout! Leave a comment on this post, or email me at jenn (AT) scrappersworkshop.com
