And we are traveling NAKED!

For those of you that are following our pre journey, you know that I am in helping with a Lego Robotics training this weekend in Coos Bay, Oregon. It is collaboration with ORTOP (www.ortop.org ) and 4-H to teach adults how to lead Lego Robotics Teams.

For our 4-H SET outreach we are working with 4-H Clubs across the state to set up LEGO Robotics Clubs, teams, and after school programs. Here is where we currently have robotics, or interests! Please contact me if you would like to partner with 4-H in Oregon!

First, a plug for ORTOP! They are a fabulous organization that promotes robotics through FIRST programs. (www.firstlegoleague.org )

JFLL – Lego competitions for youth 6 – 9 years old
FLL – Lego Robotics competitions for youth 9 – 14 years old
FTC – First Tech Challenge for youth 13 – 18 years

If you have a lingering (ya know ya do!) interest in LEGO and youth that are any of the above ages, please check out the site, and think about encouraging your youth to participate!

If you don’t have that lingering interest, but know a GREAT program when you see one, please consider donating money to ORTOP so they can fund scholarship teams.

So are you wondering how this applies to us traveling NAKED? I am six hours away from home. We have no food in the RV and our clothes aren’t packed! Panic is beginning to set in! How am I going to get food, clothes, and leave on Monday? The only logical answer is to cut out something…therefore all clothes are getting left at home. We are going south any way…it won’t matter much….will it?
