Lego Mindstorms

Lego Mindstorms arrived this week! This was a very exciting time in our household. Austin and Aidan excitedly opened the package, and within less than an hour, Austin had a working vehicle. He was anxious to start programming.

Skye tried to load the software onto a couple computers, but it wasn't working on either Mac. Eventually, Skye worked out the problem and got it set up for Austin.

Austin spent about 5 hours per day, Wednesday and Thursday, building and re-building, programming an "alligator" to walk, chomp and sing. He was very enthusiastic about showing his creation with the intro, "Have you ever met a singing alligator?"
