A couple of weekends ago we went to WPI’s Touchtomorrow
event that is cosponsored by NASA. This event is free to the public and
allows everyone to get up close and personal with Robots, astronauts,
professors and students who have built/are building/thinking about building cool
stuff. There was a ton of stuff for kids to do. Spotty’s eyes
were aglow. He was enraptured listening to one of the mechanical engineering
professors. He was talking about how they initially go to home depot when they
are building proto types of items that would help the disabled. I never would
have expected Spotty to be interested, but he didn’t want to leave. Spotty was
also able to drive around a couple of robots and play video games that the
students created. We spent at least 5
hours there, and could have spent more. Spotty got a very cool NASA patch for
completing his “passport” (going around to various shows/talks and getting a
stamp to say he participated). We will definitely
be back next year.
