Sam's school had a science fair this year for K-6. Sam picked Racing BristleBots as his project. Building robots sounded like a lot of fun. I enjoyed working on it just as much as he did. He was so excited about it that he took it for show and tell a few weeks before it was due. The only painful part was helping Sam type the paper. I couldn't actually type it or format it for him, so I just sat next to him over the course of a few days (totalingabout 4 to 5 hours) and told him what to click to add a title page, table of contents, headings, images, etc. Of course Sam doesn't know how to type, he's only 7 and in the second grade so it didn't seem like a skill he needed yet. I'm thinking a fun typing program will be in our near future. The display board was easy to build since he had typed the paper instead of writing it out by hand. He's already ready for his next science project!
