Time to get dirty

If your house is anything like ours I am sure the mud has been tracking in steadily for the last month or more!

Forts are being built, holes dug, the seeds of possibility that come with Spring are being sown. Whether your school year may be winding down or continuing on through the summer we wanted to make you are aware of a few possibilities for local science enrichment coming up including HIS, Inc’s first field trip of the year to the Idaho Cedar Sales mill in Troy, Idaho on Friday, May 24. This event is for 8 year olds and up and will consist of a tour of a working cedar mill, history of the site, and much much more. Read more and register for one of our two slots below. Don’t be deterred if you have younger children as we have made some helpful arrangements for you!

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
