lego league!

In the fall Grayson was part of a Lego League at school. It was an after school program, in which he participated every Wednesday evening. The league wasn't all fun and games, based on it's misleading title. The kids were tasked with an objective. There were several groups spread out throughout Anne Arundel county. Each group was tasked with the same objective. The objective was to create something that would assist Senior Citizens.

After the 8 or so weeks the club was done with their objective, all the leauges' got together at a expo. Since the Navy Academy was one of the sponsors of the league, they hosted the expo right at the Academy!

A Navy "cadet" was assigned to a few groups and walked around to ask them questions.

Some of the questions were

"What did you build?" A car to fit 6 people so they can carpool and a ramp for the dog to get in. A wheel chair that can drive itself

 "Why do you feel what you built would assist Senior Citizen's best?" The car will help with them driving and the wheel chair so they don't have to move themselves.

At the end, although there wasn't any formal judging, each group received a certificate.

It was very cute and the kids definitely had a great time!

As you can see from the pictures, Grayson was quite excited himself about showing off his group's work!
