Today I had the opportunity to view a regional event from a different perspective, as a research project judge. I was really impressed by many of the team that I saw. These kids are so creative and it is wonderful to see them learning so much!

Our regional is Saturday! We’ve all been working hard programing, re-programming, tweaking, testing, and practicing. We are starting to make some progress, but there isn’t much time left!! I’m not sure what we’ll be able to do in Whitby, but in any case I have learned a lot this year.

Well, I give the kids credit. Just this week they decided to change their strategic approach to the field table. With less than two weeks until competition this is a bit of a risk, but I think they have put a lot of thought into it. I imagine we’ll be exhausted before week end, but [...]

Today was our local practice tournament. We came 4th of the field table. We learned a lot……we need more practice. We already knew we needed to be more consistent and are trying, but it isn’t easy. We also need to be less stressed
