I should have written about this months ago but better late than never.
David and four friends did the Tech Challenge again this year. This year’s challenge was considerably harder. It included building three gliders that would deliver ping pong balls over a mountain, around a wind tunnel and land on a particular circle. I didn’t even understand it well enough to explain it.
But the kids did an amazing job. They worked hard and built again and again until they got it right and two of their their gliders landed right where they needed to. It was an incredible moment to get to see the culmination of all of the hard work they put into it.
And to put icing on the cake, they won the Outstanding Device Performance award. So they each got to go home with a gift card from Amazon, the joy of winning something, and the incredible pride of accomplishing this very hard task.
I am so incredibly proud of my boy!
