Certificates were given to all youth volunteers in attendance. For any youth volunteers who weren't able to come, certificates will be forwarded to your school.
Thank you to all youth volunteers who helped make this year's program special and successful!
Jasmine: 30 minutes until these bratty kids get on my bus.
Monica: Phew! That stinks, did you kidnap one of my kids?
Jasmine: I don't smell anything.
Monica: Then what stinks?
Jasmine: You skunk, without a doubt.
Monica: I smell like butterflies and flowers. Aren't you the one idling and the gas from your bus smells?
Jasmine: Idling? What is that?
Our 3rd Annual Jr. FIRST LEGO League Exposition in Stamford on February 7th was a smash hit! 30 teams representing 6 public schools, 1 private
school, 3 community organizations, 1 homeschool team (from Framingham MASS), and 1 New Jersey/Connecitcut partnership team participated making this by far our largest
event ever. Approximately 180 students participated, sharing their interest in science and technology (and LEGO) with our dedicated reviewers and
interested audience. At the end of the day all teams were recognized with LEGO trophies and individual medals for their unique achievements!
We are very pleased to announce that Seema Winsor, co-founder of Stamford Robotics, was honored last week with the 2010 Women of Innovation award by the Connecticut Technology Council in the category of "Community Innovation and Leadership".

About Stamford Robotics
Stamford Robotics is a local organization dedicated to bringing science and technology FUN to young people in our area. We do this by running local events and supporting teams of young people. We want to build the science and technology heroes of tomorrow, and have fun doing it!
Our current programs are Junior FIRST Lego League (Jr. FLL) and FIRST Lego League (FLL) in Stamford, Connecticut. Our site features information for new coaches, schools, and other community organizations considering FLL or Jr. FLL programs.
Stamford Robotics was created by Coaches/Mentors and members of former FIRST LEGO League teams in Stamford. Many in the FIRST community will know us as the S.M.A.R.T. Team from Scofield Magnet Middle School. The S.M.A.R.T. team participated in FLL from its beginnings. They also had the distinction of being two time State FLL Champions - representing the state of Connecticut in Atlanta at the FLL World Festival. These teams are no longer active, but their former members, coaches, and mentors are still here to promote the positive impact of this program.Want to find out more about our programs? - Contact us for more information.
