YOUTH TAKE::THE FUTURE IS OUR FUTURE:: KID GEEKS!! - March 13, 2010 by Nico

NYC FIRST Robotics LIVE Webcast at NASA.robotics.gov – Kids, Technology and Streaming Media!! Oh my! Recently me & my honey took the kids to the SONY Wonder Labs, which is a FREE interactive playground in NYC at the SONY building, It was indeed “wonderful” and it also made me sad… Sad that I had missed out on so much back in the days of my misspent youth! Of course, none of this existed yet… so, what can you do?

Alas, NYC is finally becoming a breeding ground for fabulous geekdom!

Celebrating Kids Working Smart in Science and Technology

All FIRST programs are organized around two components:

engaging teams of students in the process of technological innovation through the use of robotics; and
bringing communities together to celebrate the achievements of students working smart in science and technology.

Check out the webcasts and from NYC FIRST Robotics LIVE Webcast at NASA.robotics.gov

Check out a LIVE video feed of the 10th Annual NYC FIRST Robotics Competition here.NASA is webcasting FIRST Robotics regionals from across the country here.

I love the CAPSELA@

Nico’s Deep Thought: I love to see the next, youngest generation as they enter the wonderful world of genius, geekdom!! There wasn’t a competition around here in NYC for me in High School, we didn’t have computers in the schools yet!! Not much Robotics (I did do Lego but Capsela was always my FAVORITE!!) and a lot of Rube Goldberg, but that’s mostly physics!!

Oooh! Have I said too much? Well, I suppose I should keep the mystery alive and focus on tomorrow!

Defined: Rube Goldberg designed inventions that made simple tasks much more complicated. Like this! (Who didn’t love watching Zoom growing up???)
