Hey folks,
Here
is a request from a team that did a really neat research project that they
posted on YouTube. A link is at the bottom. If you have a few min
and take a look it will help them with project. They want to get as many
hits as possible to their video before they go to their state (

Research Project YouTube Link Please Look
Hello all:
My robotics team kids have been working all year long preparing for
their competition for First Lego League. Despite audio difficulties,
their initial project won first place at the regional competition which
provided them an opportunity to advance to the state competition at
One of the components of the competition is a research project relevant
to the years stated topic and present findings in a creative and interesting
manner. The topic for this year is transportation. My kids decided
to do their project on safety factors associated with aged tires. They
developed a news broadcast format, created their own script, filmed and edited
their production and decided they wanted to place it on YouTube for maximum
opportunity to have their findings observed. Part of the requirement is
to show their project to as many people as possible, so YouTube was the perfect
vehicle. You received this invitation just because you are in my address
book.
If your schedule permits, my kids would very much appreciate as many
"hits" as possible on their YouTube video during the next week.
Although I am very biased, I think they did an incredible job and I am
very proud of them. We have no clue how we will do at state next week,
but we will do our very best. The video is about 5 minutes and is 100%
their creative effort and work. I provided nothing but encouragement ,
equipment and some suggestions here and there. Needless to say, my kids
are amazing and I am very proud of them.
If you enjoy it, please forward the link to anyone in your address book
that may also enjoy and appreciate a valiant middle school effort.
Very Respectfully,
Kathleen Brown
