The Summer Science Series, the two workshops that were scheduled to occur in August, have been delayed until the fall. Check back for specific dates!

We are currently raffling a Segway PT with training (A $5495 value). The winner will be announced December 8, 2008. Contact Sandra George at 429-1917 or Lisa Reich at 714-0714 for more information. Ask any team member or mentor to buy tickets ($5 each / $10 for 3).

Many thanks to Cinemagic for letting us demonstrate our robot there! We had a great time and got to tell many people about FIRST and our team. We were demonstrating the robot to help advertise Wall-E, which came out recently. We are also going to be treated to a private showing of the movie.

Lego camp will be run from July 21 to July 25. This camp is for kids ages 8-14. If you are interested or want more information, contact Fran Leach at 429-0164 or franleach03054@yahoo.com or Sandy George at 494-7802.

The Summer Science Series consists of 2 one-day workshops:

Bottle rockets - July 29, 5pm, MUES fields - Bring an empty 2-liter bottle.
Baloon rockets and others - July 31, 6-8pm, Merrimack Public Library.

Participants are asked to bring a donation for the food pantry.
For more information, contact Sandy George or Fran Leach.

We are going to demonstrate our robot at the Cinemagic in Merrimack weekends in June to help advertise Wall-E, which is coming out on June 27, and which you should go and see! We can't sell our Segway raffle tickets there, but you can still contact Sandy George or Lisa Reich to get them.
