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

Overcoming obstacles is to be commended and will serve each team member well all their lives. Congratulations to all of them.
