LEGO Robotics Challenge - Regional Meet
Lake Michigan College, Berrien Springs,
MI April 16, 2007
|
 |
The meet started
early on Monday morning, April 16 at Lake Michigan College near Berrien
Springs, MI. We were fortunate to be able to stay with the Riess family, so we wouldn't have so far to travel on
the day of the Challenge. We had a wonderful dinner and breakfast too.
This also gave us a chance to practice our project presentation on
Nano Neuro Knitting - nanotechnology used to repair damaged brain
and nerve cells.
