We heard last night that the Lego team that Ian is a part of, came in second in the Minnesota State Lego Competition in St. Paul. (Ian is Marilyn's grandson.)
I did an earlier story about a Lego Team Practice Session that Marilyn and Al attended.
Apparently there was a glitch with their robot during the competition and the team handled it so well that the judges were very impressed. They got called back for the final four and from their answers and poise came in second from an original field of more than 500. They also won the Judge's Choice award. Quite and achievement for six youngsters.
This year's Lego robotics and research challenge was “Food Factor” to explore the topic of food safety, so it was of special interest to Marilyn and Al who are both food scientists.
The Williams Team is very proud of the competitors. They all have a great future ahead.
Lucky
What an accomplishment - you all have reason to be very proud!

Congratulations to the Lego Team! That is quite an accomplishment. My 2 sons, ages 37 and 41 played with Legos when they were young and we still have them for our grandkids to play with when they visit. Legos are wonderful for a child's imagination.
