Great work!

The numbers are in! Crushing Techno Tigers Donate to MS Society
Well, the final numbers are in and the Crushing Techno Tigers are responsible for raising $285 for the Multiple Sclerosis Society. The team walked in the Walk MS event earlier this year in Troy MI.
The team showed up on a cool windy morning and walked the route a nice size crowd! We all wore our CTT shirts and got a nice response as we did our team "HOO-HAH" cheer :)
This is a great group of kids and giving back to in this way shows their heart & spirit.
Congratulations team!
P.S. It should be noted that we had a few 'Hippies'
join us too! ;)

Robots, projects & teamwork!
I am really proud of these amazing kids. Great work last night & more showed up tonight @ CTT HQ to continue the effort. Our season is starting to really progress in all areas.
In what I consider to be the most challenging robot course to date we are on the cusp of pulling in a good amount of points. What a productive two nights!
Great kids, amazing team, impressive results.

Teamwork Challenges !!!
To get ready for the upcoming tournament season we are engaging in various 'teamwork' activities. It has been a while since we had one and at this meeting the team quickly demonstrated to me why we had such a great first season. To coin a known FLL phrase... "We are a TEAM" :)
While there is certainly things we can and should improve upon, the kids did a wonderful job handling the 'monkey wrenches' i threw at them.
I am really lucky to be working with these kids!
THEY are teaching ME a lot!

Project Progress
Well, all the research is starting to make a difference.
We have a topic, researched it a lot, have a possible innovative solution and an interview set up to discuss it :)
The kids are feeling more confident as we move along :)
