Had fun today covering FIRST LEGO League competition at Roosevelt Elementary School. More than 30 fourth and fifth grade students built and programmed their own robots to navigate obstacle courses. It's amazing what kids are learning today. I wish they had this stuff when I was in school. FIRST LEGO ROBOTS
