Today at Lakeview High School, we were proud to host the FLL Jr. Expo. 80 elementary schoolers woke up bright and early to set up their presentations in the hallways of Lakeview, for everyone to see. There were different rotations for the kids to go to. Different teams from all over Michigan arrived at each station ready to be apart of the amazing experiences ahead. One of the stations showed off the 2019 FRC competition robot and the 2019 FTC competition robot who up until now was named the Nindroids, as of this year it is now named Q2. Q2 is named for being the 2nd branch of Q Branch. After watching the two robots in awe, they moved on to building or drawing. The kids were given gumdrops and toothpicks to build whatever structure they wanted. One of the adults decided to join in and see if his structure could hold a large bottle of hand sanitizer, (it worked!). The kids created some amazing structures and were very proud of themselves! The kids also got to color a beautiful poster, showing off their creativity and their journey of discovery. The attending teams were greeted by our guest author, Simon Thalmann, and the Bruin Bear both of who are from Kellogg Community College at one of the stations. The Bruin Bear was moved and played by our Chairman’s captain, Alayna Robinson. They also got to see Heavy Metal 2.0 shoot shirts. The turnout was fantastic and lots of kids had a great time!
