NYC FIRST Robotics LIVE Webcast at NASA.robotics.gov — Kids, Technology and Streaming Media!! Oh my! Recently me & my honey took the kids to the SONY Wonder Labs, which is a FREE interactive playground in NYC at the SONY building, It was indeed “wonderful” and it also made me sad… Sad that I had missed out on so much back in the days of my misspent youth! Of course, none of this existed yet… so, what can you do?
Alas, NYC is finally becoming a breeding ground for fabulous geekdom!
Celebrating Kids Working Smart in Science and Technology
All FIRST programs are organized around two components:
- engaging teams of students in the process of technological innovation through the use of robotics; and
- bringing communities together to celebrate the achievements of students working smart in science and technology.

Nico’s Deep Thought: I love to see the next, youngest generation as they enter the wonderful world of genius, geekdom!! There wasn’t a competition around here in NYC for me in High School, we didn’t have computers in the schools yet!! Not much Robotics (I did do Lego but Capsela was always my FAVORITE!!) and a lot of Rube Goldberg, but that’s mostly physics!!
Oooh! Have I said too much? Well, I suppose I should keep the mystery alive and focus on tomorrow!
Defined: Rube Goldberg designed inventions that made simple tasks much more complicated. Like this! (Who didn’t love watching Zoom growing up???)
More competitions fuling the future of our enigneers! Rube Goldberg competiton ignites teen minds! Read more here:
