WPI Touch Tomorrow
Today I took the boys to the Touch Tomorrow event at WPI. It is a festival of science, technology and robots, on a beautiful campus and it is an awesome event for children of any age. Plus it’s free!! Pretty much a no brainer as far as I’m concerned! Evan and especially Logan are a bit on the young side for many of the activities and still require quite a bit of help for most things but there was plenty for them to do and try. They had fun driving a Mars Rover simulator, playing catch with a robot, watching Curious George build a tower of cups, learning about the screech owl and red-tailed hawk, making a volcano erupt, and making slime, among other things. It was a great day for the event too…mostly cloudy and overcast but not too hot and the rain held off. This is certainly a great way to get kids excited about science and technology. Definitely an event that we will be attending in the years to come!
