A Bit of History...
​
In the summer of 1998 we stumbled upon a box sitting on the shelf at an educational store with a name of MINDSTORMS Robotics and a website for FIRST LEGO League - FLL (www.firstinspires.org ). Already actively involved with creating new and innovative ways to engage children in problem solving activities at our school, it was an instant fit and our journey into robotics competitions was launched. We knew we had to start a team because of the intrinsic value we saw in the program as an avenue for hands on, project based education.
​
We registered two Colorado teams ...there were only 2 teams in the surrounding 5 states. For the first four years of competition, we traveled to LEGO Land in California so our kids could compete because Colorado did not hold an official tournament in those beginning years.
​
In 2011, while he was in the United States, we had the privilege of an introduction to Dr. Peter Kiyoro of Kenya. Dr. Kiyoro is Vice Chairman of a committee established by the Kenyan government with a task of finding solutions for the reform of Kenya education, bringing it into the 21st Century. During a hastily scheduled meeting in Atlanta, we took a MINDSTORM robot, who performed as a true gentleman if I might add, and other LEGO Education products we see as instrumental to helping establish solid STEM/ICT programs for children.
​
Within the hour, Dr. Kiyoro said, "WE MUST HAVE THIS IN KENYA!" He asked us to come and I told him that Kathy and I, "...don't know how we'll do it but we will come."
​
That was just the beginning!
This is a video of our first trip.
