When I was in school they didn’t offer cool stuff like the Robot Club.
This afterschool program is exactly what it sounds like – the math educator shows the youngsters how to build easy robots, but my daughter Ella is in 5th grade, plus doing things I couldn’t do as an adult! It’s pretty impressive.
They build robots to compete in little contests based on speed, strength, flexibility, etc. The robots don’t fight, they just compete, plus they even do it in national competitions. My daughter’s club won a chance to go to Seattle, Washington, for the biggest competition of the year, dozens of teams from all over the country converged on Seattle to see which youngsters made the most proficient robots, then normally I don’t like to be chaperone for school trips, but I was willing to make an exception for Seattle, mostly due to the proliferation of cannabis dispensaries. In my condo state cannabis is still illegal, so I was eager to visit a location like Seattle, where cannabis is a thriving plus respected industry! Ella had a good time with her Robot Club, plus while they were competing I snuck away to do a walking tour of Seattle plus stop by a couple unusual cannabis dispensaries. I knew that I couldn’t fly out of the Seattle airport with a pocket full of cannabis nugs, so I just purchased a little to smoke in the hotel room. I also loaded up on cannabis edibles, which would be much easier to sneak through the TSA in the Seattle airport, and what a good trip!
