TakePart Live

Just did a speedy fast trip to LA for +TakePart Live  AWESOME! It was SO much fun.

I would totally go back again. Everyone was so nice, I loved the fast pace of the show. Guest Host here I come.

Here are some pictures of my time spent in LA.

We had some extra time the day after the show, so of course my mom wanted to go to The Grove (it's a mall!)

Here is the segment

I saw this cool tree on the way.

Gotta try new things! Kumquats..not a fan.

The Grove in the holiday spirit

3. Robot Brrd 3D Kit

http://robobrrd.com/store/product/rb3d/

THANKS Carson! Fun ideas :)

 "This is an app controlled robot bird that you can make from a kit. It comes with some 3d printed parts, fabric and a lot of electronics! This is a great introduction to electronics, Arduino, mechanics, programming, and even fabric working!"

Reagan: Age 13

Now this item isn't for sale yet..but they are working on it. Let me know if you'd be interested. 

This is made by all 3 of the boys.

1. CubeRinth: A 3d customizable maze which can come as a kit. Made out of laser cut acrylic, rubber bands, and plastic rods, this maze is not just any old Perplexus! It has shelfs with a pegboard pattern so you stick pegs into it, string rubber bands between the pegs to create walls, and then you can play your own maze! Educators also like this because it helps with spacial awareness.

Great Job Guys!

From LWJM we wish everyone a Safe and Happy Holidays!

Don't be bored...MAKE something!

Thanks Arizona State Fair for the wonderful welcome!
