After a successful inaugural run in 2015, 12 yarn shops from Mattituck to Port Washington will be participating in the second annual Long Island Yarn Crawl from April 7th through 10th. Over the course of four days yarn crafters - knitters, crocheters, weavers and spinners - are invited to participate in this self-guided tour of our Long Island yarn shops, which will have extended hours and special activities throughout the weekend. It is a great way for crafters to explore what our local fiber community has to offer and meet other local yarn enthusiasts. Participants are invited

to either pick up their Long Island Yarn Crawl Passport from a participating store or download it from the yarn crawl’s website, and have it stamped as they “crawl” from shop to shop. Crawlers who collect stamps from all 12 stores will be entered to win one of the grand prizes: a $75 gift card from each of the participating stores, or over $400 of yarn donated by gold sponsor Knitting Fever. Participants who drop off a passport with fewer than 12 stamps will be entered to win a separate drawing. Special edition Long Island Yarn Crawl bags can be purchased at participating shops, or are available as a free gift with

Moving Day By: Jamie Lynn Ryan

It finally arrived, my very own upgraded home, complete with a filter, a light, a brand new silk plant, pretty gravel…everything a betta as particular as myself could possibly ask for! While not exactly a birthday present (I spied my Human hiding it under the Christmas tree a few months back), I had the pleasure of moving in just a couple weeks ago after my “one-year-in-the-bowl” festivities. I have to admit, I was a little apprehensive once I saw the setup; nothing like my tiny travel bowl, which was perfect for joining my Human and her family at the dining room table for dinner or on the coffee table for prime television viewing. No, this one-gallon estate is much better suited for its stationary spot on the kitchen counter – although I hear it can be unplugged and

relocated easily enough, you know, in case there happens to be anything good on Animal Planet. And my plant, I can’t say enough about its lengthy silk leaves, which create the perfect spot to curl up on and nap at any time of the day or night. No more frayed fins for this betta! This plant is smooth sailing, allowing me to ﬂit to and fro and wedge myself in between its fronds without doing any further damage to my lovely physique. These days, the Human tends to feed me twice a day, once before she leaves for work in the morning and again when she returns home in the evening – just a few ﬂakes each time (I do have to maintain my figure after all). I am having a bit of trouble navigating around the filter though, as it tends to blow my precious meal clear across the tank just as I have it within my grasp. What a workout!

I suppose that explains why I’ve been napping quite a bit more lately, either on my favorite leaf or wedged in the corner of my tank, face pressed against the glass, ﬂoating above the gravel. Plus, this new light is great for exploring when I’m home alone, doing my daily laps and combing the bottom for any rogue ﬂakes that may have escaped – exhausting stuff. When the Human says “lights out,” she means it. Bedtime for Buddy! I look forward to spending the next chapter of my life in this beautiful new environment. Thanks to those readers who continue to check in on my livelihood and compliment my columns. I’ve even been told a book deal should be forthcoming! I can see it now… Life According to Buddy: Tales from the Bowl. ‘Til next time, this is Buddy the Betta signing off!

Scouting’s Good Turn The efforts of scouting groups in Matinecock district (Commack, Huntington, Hauppauge and Smithtown) will culminate on Saturday, March 19th when scout units will bring the food they collect to John Glenn High School on Elwood Road in East Northport between the hours of 9 and 11:30 a.m. At that time, scouts and other volunteers will sort what was collected over the last few months and

packaged it for distribution to local food pantries. This is the 29th consecutive year local scouts have joined with scouts across the USA collecting nonperishable food items to share with their neighbors in need. It is one of scouting’s finest hours as hundreds of youths work to make a difference in their communities. Please help them by, when you see them or if you know a scout, donating non-perishable food items

to this worthy cause. Help them make a difference today and to learn skills they can use to help others tomorrow. Many thanks go to our neighbors who have already given and to the volunteers helping in this effort. For more information please contact the local Scouting for Food Coordinator Don Ghee at 646.483.5900 or District Executive Liz Jumper at 631.924.7000, ext. 131.

Raising Funds for Cancer

The bad news: More children are lost to cancer in the U.S. than any other disease, and worldwide, a child is diagnosed every three minutes. The good news: Because of research, today about 90% of children with the most common types of cancer will live. The St. Baldrick’s Foundation works to fund research and provide support for children and families. According to their website, “Childhood cancer differs from adult cancers, and the treatment is much different, as well. In addition to finding cures, a lot of research is focused on preventing the lifelong damage that results from surgeries, radiation, and chemotherapies given while young bodies and brains are just developing.” Commack High School’s annual head-shaving event is just one of the ways we work together to make a difference in the lives of others. This year, $75,000 was donated, with pledges still coming in. Since

Commack’s first headshaving event in 2010, over $530,000 was donated to St. Baldrick’s, and 1,725 heads were shaved through the efforts of more than 600 volunteers. The volunteer barbers and hairdressers also cut hair for donations to Locks of Love. Ten people donated ten inches or more of their long hair to make wigs for people who have lost their own hair due to cancer treatments. Of special note, student Max Schweitzer collected over $4,600 for St. Baldrick’s, Jake Kirschbaum collected over $3,600, and senior Chris Walsh collected over $3,200 (his lifetime total is over $22,000). The Burr Team of 31 students united to collect over $16,200. Although most shavees are male, one brave young lady, Julia Slippen, a fifth grader, shaved off her lovely curly hair, and raised over $1,000. Her mom Carolyn said, “Julia began talking about St. Baldrick’s last year when she saw posters

Taking First Commack Middle School’s Science Quiz Bowl Team #1 won the regional science bowl and will represent the District and Long Island at the Nationals on April 28th through May 2nd in Washington, D.C. A total of 20 teams participated in the regional competition. Commack’s Team 1 won all but one match in the round robin and proceeded to the double elimination round in the afternoon. Coach Kimberly Gromov remarked, “The

team did not lose a single match during the double elimination; however it wasn’t an easy win! The score in the final round was 76 to 68. It was a suspenseful match!” Congratulations to CMS Science Quiz Bowl team members: Riley Bode, Andrew Wang, Nathan Cheung, and Faizali Rahim. Two Commack teams competed from the middle school this year, held at Brookhaven National Laboratories. Team 2 included Dylan

Feldman, Nikhita Mudium, Paige Robinson, and Ryan Tedesco. Alison Offerman Celentano, Commack Director of Science stated, “This is an incredible achievement for our students and their coach. The hard work and hours of preparation for this highintensity competition was evident in how well both teams performed. Coach Gromov’s dedication and the team’s knowledge and enthusiasm made this win possible.”

Both the Boy Scout Oath and Scout Law hold that scouts will help other people at all times and donating time to the community is integral to scouting. Scouts from Boy Scout Troop 125 attended a St. Baldrick’s Foundation event at Commack High School on March 4th. Saint Baldrick’s is a foundation devoted to raising money to support childhood cancer research. In order to raise both awareness and money for the foundation people volunteer to shave their heads in solidarity with

kids who have cancer. Eleven scouts from Commack-based Troop 125 shaved their heads and together raised $5,001, which was the goal they set out to achieve. Over the past two years, boy scouts from Troop 125 donated $10,000 to the foundation. Team Captain David Mastroianni is the youngest seven-year veteran for St. Baldrick’s Foundation, and was “knighted” at Commack High School for his service to the charity. Boy Scout Mastroianni is now known as Sir David,

King of the Bald Table. Boy Scout Troop 125 is a boy-run troop that meets every Tuesday from 7:30 to 9 p.m. at the Commack United Methodist Church (486 Town Line Road, Commack) and is open to boys who are 11 through 18-years old and who reside in Commack, Huntington, Dix Hills, East Northport, Kings Park, Smithtown and surrounding communities. For membership information, please visit the website at www. troop125ny.org.

Stormy Conditions Weather conditions changed dramatically and quickly at Nesaquake Middle School in the Smithtown Central School when the Franklin Institute’s traveling weather show made a stop in the school’s auditorium. David Wrigley from the Franklin Institute delivered

an interactive presentation on weather to the sixthgraders on March 3rd. Students learned about the forces behind our weather, how clouds form, different properties that produce certain weather conditions and the water cycle. Using fun facts and interactive experiments,

along with a few student volunteers, Wrigley demonstrated how air rises, the power of wind, the condensation process (using liquid nitrogen) and the power of a tornado by demonstrating a fire tornado.

Presenting Poetry The gym at St. James Elementary School in the Smithtown Central School District was transformed into a dimly lit café, featuring tables and couches and illuminated only by tiny lights and luminaries. With the stage

set, fifth-graders delivered their original works of poetry during the annual Poetry Café on March 3rd. In an open-mic style format, fifth-graders took to the stage to present their poems to an audience of family and friends. Each

performance was met with thunderous round of snaps. The Poetry Café gave students a chance to not only show off their writing skills, but also their public speaking and presentation skills.

Messy Lesson

Forest Brook Elementary School’s fourth grade students recently participated in a Maritime Explorium STEM (Science Technology Engineering Math) workshop called Squeaky Clean Water, which focused on the challenge of engineering a way to effectively filter particles from dirty water. While the Squeaky Clean Water lesson presented a very simple sounding task – cleaning dirty water

– in reality, it offered educational opportunities to construct, experiment, learn about controlling variables, gauge them, compute distance, determine particle size and sequence a series of activities. The workshop encouraged teamwork and creative thinking in order to coordinate efforts to assure that the goal of clean water was achieved. The students also worked as water resource

To help alleviate some of the apprehensions that come along with hospitals and doctors, representatives from Stony Brook University Children’s Hospital made a special visit to Branch Brook Elementary School in the Smithtown Central School District for a Teddy Bear Clinic on March 4th.

During the workshop, the kindergartners learned to perform proper medical treatments on a “sick” stuffed animal they brought in from home. Students worked to diagnose their stuffed companions; first checking their weight and temperature before applying bandages

and dispensing proper medicines based on their conditions. In addition to the hands-on clinic work, the students learned about keeping safe in the car, wearing seatbelts and using booster seats and wearing a helmet while bike riding or playing sports.

engineers with their attention directed toward describing the nature of solutes, particle size, pore size of the sieves, strainers, fabrics, etc., as they focused on scientific processes and their recording skills. “A messy, but fun, learning experience was enjoyed by all in the Squeaky Clean Water workshop,” stated Forest SICK BEARS GET CARE - Kindergartners at Branch Brook Elementary School in Brook Principal Kristen the Smithtown Central School District had a lesson in first aid during a Teddy Bear Reingold!

Message of Inspiration

SUFFOLK ZONE 2 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY MARCH 16, 2016 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

Motivational speaker Rohan Murphy, an American Paralympian wrestler who was born without legs, brought his message of inspiration when he visited Accompsett Middle School in the Smithtown Central School District on March 4th. Murphy spoke to the eighth-graders about his childhood struggles, wearing prosthetic legs and dreaming of playing sports like every other child. It wasn’t until eighth grade – when the wrestling coach suggested he give the sport a try – when he decided his disability would never hold

him back. “Everything changed for me because of that one teacher, the one coach who believed in me,” Murphy said. Although there were many struggles at first, through his hard work and determination, he eventually made the team in his freshman year at East Islip High School. He continued that hard work throughout his high school years and onto college, where he eventually wrestled for Penn State University. Murphy became a threetime All-League and twotime All-County wrestler

Life as an Immigrant

and earned three varsity letters at Penn State. He later founded the inspirational networking community CatchSpark. com and was a 2011 candidate for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Man and Woman of the Year fundraising campaign. “Don’t ever let someone tell you that you can’t do something,” Murphy said. “We all have to deal with struggle; if you’re dealt a bad hand, it doesn’t mean you fold.” After the assembly, Murphy met with members of the wrestling team.

Hauppauge Middle School students recently “became immigrants for a day” as they immersed themselves in the immigration process and took away thoughtprovoking details about the history of U.S. immigration during the school’s annual Immigration Day program. Prior to the start of Immigration Day, the 8th grade students wrote individual immigrant profiles for their “passports” during their Social Studies classes. The middle schoolers then viewed Theatre 3’s Voices from the Fire, which described the Holocaust and demonstrated persecution as one reason MESSAGE OF INSPIRATION - Motivational speaker Rohan Murphy visited for immigration. Next, the Accompsett Middle School in the Smithtown Central School District on March 4th students were divided into to deliver messages of acceptance, determination and dedication. Photo courtesy of: 18 groups, each of which Smithtown Central School District

was led by a Hauppauge High School History Club member. With the Middle School gymnasium transformed into the “Great Hall of Ellis Island,” the student groups then embarked on a journey to discover the reasons why people immigrated to the United States. They visited to the medical, mental and legal stations to determine their qualification for entry into the United States. Following this, they experienced different stations where they learned about other aspects of immigration, including: recent immigrants (ENL students and a teacher) who spoke about their experiences, the citizenship test; political cartoons; reader’s

theatre; a virtual tour of Ellis Island; a virtual tour of the Lower East Side Tenement Museum; Steps to American Citizenship; political reasons for immigration (refugees and asylum); video clips on immigration; racism/segregation and immigration; ethnic foods; a memoir station; and the Statue of Liberty. At the end of their “Great Hall” experience, the students wrote brief essays on the essential question: How has immigration impacted the United States? Immigration Day concluded with a lively debate where groups of students were assigned to take a stand for or against immigration.

Recognition and Awards There were 32 Scouts, Scouters, and family members in attendance at the annual Jewish Committee on Scouting of Suffolk County Council (Boy Scouts of America)’s Awards and Recognitions Breakfast on February 28th, hosted by Temple Beth Chai of Hauppauge, in Hauppauge, Long Island. Bruce Streger of the SCJCOS and Chairperson of the Northeast Region JCOS gave the invocation and opening prayers. The welcome was made by JCOS Chair Barry Kopeloff and Bruce Streger and the closing prayers were given by Rabbi Rhonda Nebel of Temple Beth Chai. Keynote Speaker was JCOS Chair Barry Kopeloff, who spoke about what has been done this year and plans for the future “in SCC and the world.” He also spoke about plans to fund raise, rebuild and rededicate the Silverman Chapel at Baiting Hollow Boy Scout Camp. During special ceremonies, presentations of medals and certificates were made by JCOS Chairman Emeritus Bruce Streger, JCOS Chair Barry Kopeloff and Religious

Emblems Coordinator Jan Rose of the Jewish Committee on Scouting of Suffolk County Council to those scouts who had recently earned their recognitions. The scouts’ parents assisted in the ceremonies by pinning the

Scout Emblem to Samuel A. of Troop 179 (West Islip), and to Josh B. and Jayson B. of Troop 125 (Commack). There are several other Cub Scouts working on their emblems and Boy Scouts who are currently working on their Ner Tamid Emblems but were completed in time for presentation at the 2016 annual JCOS Recognitions and Awards Breakfast. A special recognition was presented to Boy Scout Jayson B. of Troop 125 (Commack) by Chair Emeritus Streger for his service to the JCOS of Suffolk County Council (BSA)’s community. First Class Scout Jayson B. had been requested to create a design for this year’s annual SCJCOS Sabbath patch, which would be given to anyone in uniform that attended any Scout Sabbath in 2016. It was his patch design that has been emblems onto the youth’s uniform, presenting with the used as the Scout Sabbath Participation Patch during certificate, card, knot and a JCOS kippah. the Scout Sabbath services at 13 synagogues and several Presentations were the Maccabee Emblem to Cub churches throughout Suffolk County this year.

United Cerebral Palsy Association of Greater Suffolk, Inc. (UCP Suffolk) celebrates Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness of the needs and rights of people with disabilities and to celebrate their accomplishments and contributions to our communities and society. In 1987, President Ronald Reagan declared March to be Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, urging “all Americans to join me in according our new fellow citizens with such disabilities both encouragement and opportunities they need to lead productive lives and to achieve their full potential.” March is recognized by groups across the country as an opportunity to highlight the accomplishments and challenges facing people with developmental disabilities and their families. UCP Suffolk encourages all to celebrate “Developmental Disabilities Awareness

Month” by sharing these important facts: • Developmental disability is a natural part of the human experience and affects approximately 4.6 million Americans • All people with developmental disabilities can be productive, contributing members of their communities • During times of economic decline, essential services and supports for people with developmental disabilities are often threatened • Policy makers can only make good public policy when they hear from the people directly affected by their decisions For over 60 years, UCP Suffolk has been committed to advancing the independence, productivity and full citizenship of people with disabilities by creating “Life Without Limits.” UCP Suffolk provides programs and services

to 3,500 children and adults with a variety of disabilities annually. The Children’s Center at UCP Suffolk offers early intervention, preschool and school aged programs. The agency provides Adult Day Services which include Day Treatment, Day Habilitation and Respite programs, and job training and placement services. In addition, UCP Suffolk owns and operates 31 residences throughout Suffolk County, a twelve unit apartment complex and a comprehensive, fully accessible Health Center. “We celebrate people with developmental disabilities this month and every day. People with disabilities have made great strides in gaining education, employment and housing, but there is so much more that needs to be done. It is important that communities continue to encourage people with disabilities as well as advocate for their needs and rights,” Stephen H. Friedman, President, CEO of UCP Suffolk said.

The Greatest Compliment I Could Receive From A Customer Is A Referral.

Scout is Reverent

The first eleven points of the Boy Scout Law must be demonstrated in order to go from one rank to the next, including Eagle. The 12th point - “A Scout is Reverent” - can be demonstrated in a variety of ways including the earning of the religious award of the Scout’s individual faith. As with all the religious emblems, these are not an award for Scouting skills, but rather an emblem authorized by the Boy Scouts of America to be worn on the Scout’s uniform after satisfactory completion of the necessary requirements. The Ner Tamid Award, earned by Jewish Boy Scouts, is not an award for

Scouting skills but rather an emblem authorized by the Boy Scouts of America to be worn on the Scout’s uniform after satisfactory completion of the necessary requirements. This award, earned by Jewish Boy Scout 11 to 18, requires study concerned with home observance, synagogue worship, Jewish study, the American Jewish community, world Jewry, and a service project. In observance of the 12th point of the Scout Law, First Class Scout Joshua Brodky of Boy Scout Troop 125, Commack was presented with the Ner Tamid Emblem on February 28th at the Suffolk county Council’s Jewish Committee on

Scouting’s annual Awards and Recognition Breakfast, held at Temple Beth Chai of Hauppauge. He was presented with a medal, certificate, and the special purple and silver “scouting religious emblem knot” (to be sewn onto his uniform), and a special Jewish Committee on Scouting kippah (skullcap) by Barry Kopeloff, Chairman of the Jewish Committee on Scouting for Suffolk County Council (BSA) and Bruce Streger, Northeast Region JCOS Chair. Ner Tamid Emblem recipient First Class Scout Joshua Brodky of Boy Scout Troop 125, Commack is the son of Sheryl and Ken Brodsky of Commack.

Students: Put Away Your Smart Phone! In just the past couple of years, especially, it seems, at commuter colleges, the majority of students in campus corridors seem to be staring down at their smart phones. “In the classroom, cell phones are a major distraction,” said Stoney Brooks, a professor of Computer Information Systems at Middle Tennessee State University. “Many students do not think that multitasking – checking Facebook, texting, watching a harmless YouTube video, etc. – is harmful to their learning. This is not true. Humans cannot multitask – we rapidly task-switch. And whenever we switch tasks, our brains have to refocus our processing to the new task, and we forget some of the information that we had for the first task. There are studies that show that, for example, social media use in the classroom is associated with increased stress and lower classroom performance.” Obviously, this can be a

safety concern, too, with no one actually looking up and taking in the action happening around them. But also it can be a quality-of-life concern, as students may not feel they can escape their dayto-day worries while on campus, instead managing their private lives via the device. What suffers could be the so-called “college experience,” the experts warn us. You may be missing out on enjoying your time on a real, physical campus while you tend to a virtual world. “Cell phones have a great potential for help and for harm. Sadly, the harmful effects are more prevalent than the helpful ones for today’s students, and they are cheating themselves out of the true college experience,” Brooks added. One professor told us an anecdote of another professor who gives his students allotted breaks for their cell phone use. This would be analogous to the cigarette breaks given in the 1970s and prior. The students have trouble

keeping focus if they can’t get a fix. Although quality use of the smart phone is more important than using it for fun. “What the students are reading on their phones isn’t all unimportant content,” said Steven Rothberg, president of College Recruiter, a job placement site. “With well over 90 percent using smart phones and most reading e-mails on their smart phones, students are often using their phones to search for an internship or entry-level job. That type of reading will require more focus on their phones and less on their surroundings than if they were looking at videos of cute kittens.” We decided to focus on the work of Dr. Ofir Turel, professor of information systems and decision sciences at Cal State Fullerton, for this issue. “Smart phones are like refrigerators full of surprising foods; it is very tempting for many users to get sucked into checking and updating

content,” Dr. Turel told us. “Taken together, the strong psychological rewards people receive from using applications on their cell phones, the inconvenience they feel when they do not use them, and the time it takes to do all this are reasonable possible explanations for the need to spend break time, while walking through university corridors, on the cell phone.” You have to ask yourself, is what you’re doing on social media really all that important? “The concept of a “friend” has changed, from having 10-30 friends when I grew up to having hundreds or thousands of “friends” on Facebook, some of whom you have never met,” Turel said. “Managing so many so-called friends, following their daily, and often mundane, routines and activities, is time consuming. “Overall, the balance between the positive and negative effects of cell phone really depends on the self-control of users

and their understanding that they need to put limits on and control their use patterns. Ultimately, allowing the use of such sites in class assumes a certain level of maturity – students need to refrain from abusing such systems, and use these “recharging” rights wisely.” So what can be done about this problem, if anything? “First, we need to increase awareness among students regarding potential problems associated with excessive and sometimes addictive use of some technologies,” Turel said. Some universities already include a module on Internet/video gaming risks for incoming freshmen students, he noted, so adding a seminar on appropriate smart phone use would be easy. “Many causes of dropping out have to do with spending too much time on non-productive Internet activities such as playing video games,” he said. “Teachers can explain

the risks to students and discuss their cell phone and social media use policies in class.” Turel added, “Cell phones, Facebook and other technologies are like food – we need them and we do not want to avoid them. When consumed at healthy levels, for the right purpose and properly (for example, around the table and not while driving) they are very useful. However, overand improper consumption can lead to adverse consequences. We need to be better aware of these risks and teach ourselves to develop the right balance of both food consumption and technology use.” Brooks concluded, “The addiction that students have to their mobile devices has fundamentally changed the nature of interpersonal relationships and communication. The technology has allowed us to communicate and connect easier and more rapidly, but has caused even more distance between people.”

Fun & Education Collide School-Business Partnerships of Long Island, Inc. (SBPLI), is pleased to present the 17th Annual SBPLI Long Island Regional FIRST® (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition (FRC). The event is being held on April 1st and 2nd at Hofstra University’s David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex in Hempstead, with opening ceremonies at 8:30 a.m. on both days. Families and supporters from all across Long Island are invited to watch 51 teams of students and engineering and technical mentors from Long Island, the New York metropolitan area and Brazil demonstrate their skills in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. They will compete for honors and recognition that reward design excellence, competitive play, sportsmanship and high-impact partnerships between schools, businesses, and communities. This year’s challenge, FIRST STRONGHOLDSM is based on a popular

medieval castleconquering and battlestrategy game. Robots gain points by incapacitating defenses and scoring boulders through goals in the opposition’s tower. A visual description of FIRST Stronghold can be found on YouTube. At the event, families can watch the robots compete, as well as check out the demonstrations from some of the FIRST® LEGO League Junior, FIRST® LEGO League and FIRST® Tech Challenge teams and visit the FESTO traveling exhibit about engineering. “We’re looking forward to another great SBPLI Long Island Regional,” says Debra Winter, FRC Co-Director, SBPLI. “This event is an important stepping stone for all FRC students. It’s a chance for them to turn a vision into a reality and it opens the door to possibilities that are few and far between these days, like scholarships or job opportunities. Students will also learn important concepts such as teamwork, problem solving and healthy competition while developing the maturity necessary to enrich their professional lives.”

“The SBPLI Long Island Regional demonstrates SBPLI’s commitment to the challenge of increasing STEM awareness to families across the region,” adds David Johnson, FRC CoDirector, SBPLI. Over the years, Long Island students involved with FIRST have received more than $8 million in scholarships for higher education, in areas of science, technology, engineering, business or math. Our graduates often pursue careers with sponsoring companies, meeting the businesses’ needs for well-rounded, technically skilled employees.” This season, students participating in FIRST robotics are eligible to apply for more than $25 million in scholarships. Over a sixweek timeframe, students work with professional engineering mentors to design a robot that solves a problem using a “kit of parts” and a standard set of rules. Once these young inventors create the robot, their teams participate in regional competitions that measure the effectiveness of each robot, the power of collaboration, and the determination of students.
