Today wasn't as colorful as yesterday's "Field trip" to the Biodome, but it was just as educational, and the kids had a lot of fun.

I divided the pictures into 2 threads.

One with the usual Science Center stuff
And the other with their Current exhibit (Robotics)

Here's the Science Center's link if anyone is interested in learning more about it.

And Here's a few shots

To free up some space at Photobucket, I moved the pictures to here

That thing in the top pic would make a great vice for my saw! You could computer control it to slice rock while you sit back and sip coffee. You think you could kind of sneak it out of there Alice? When no one's looking, of course.

It looks like your robot had a great day. Bet he sleeps well.

LOL, I can just see the looks on their faces while I walk in there with a ladder and a wrench.

I wish my kids would go to sleep early.
My youngest usually falls asleep in the car after we finish the "tours", and is up all hours of the night afterwards.
My oldest, well... he has sleeping problems to begin with, and it seems that the more active he is during the day, the longer it takes him to fall asleep.

They're enjoying March break. That's all that counts

Impressive kits, but their plastic is cheap (I find anyway), Their prices certainly beat mindstorms though, and no computer is tied up to operate them.
