Help us Purchase New Laptops!

A successful LEGO Robotics class at the Troy Library in Troy, Idaho, Fall, 2015.

As you all may know, LEGO Robotics has been one of our most popular activities over the past several years. These activities are fun, hands-on, provides an easy way to learn about motion and computer programming, and of course it involves playing with LEGOs!

We are at the point where we need to purchase a new set of laptops (10 Lenovo Thinkpads, refurbished, $200 each) and 2 carrying cases (each carries 5 laptops; $300 each), totaling $2600.

This equipment will allow us to continue to offer local LEGO Robotics classes for ages 4-14 and also allow us to train volunteers (parents and student interns) statewide.

We are now 2/3 of the way to our goal. Help us finish strong!

Thanks for your support!

Amazing St. Paddy's Day feast by the Irish beauty, Mrs. Boyd. And a birthday apple pie from my sweet mother-in-law. I am blessed.
What a season! The Moscow Mechanics placed 5th out of 20 at the Idaho FTC Championship in Meridian this past weekend. And we had the high score of the first 6 rounds with our good friends A2Z Robotics. And we were the first pick for the elimination rounds and so competed in the semifinals. I am super proud of this young, hard-working, fun, and competitive bunch! #ftc18552 #moscowmechanics #FIRSTIdaho #firstinspires #Robotics #STEM #homeschoolscience
