Robots

The Houston Museum of Natural Science












The kids had a blast at the robot exhibit at the museum. There were a ton of hands-on activities for the kids to manipulate. Brady's favorite thing was the gear table. The kid never stops to amaze me! You had to build your own robot from the gears and then charge it by hooking it up to the black and red cables. I had already given up along with Miss Kellie and told him that the table must be broken. Well, Brady refused to be defeated and would not stop until he had a working robot. I was so proud of him! The look on face when he saw his creation moving was priceless! Cash's favorite part of the exhibit was the domino table. It was scientifically named the Cause and Effect Table, where the physics of robotics was tested, but we'll stick with the "domino table." He had so much lining up the dominoes in different patterns and then knocking them down. He did it over and over and loved every minute of it!
