Sound Artist Megan Hall
and photographer Ryan Conaty created a neat audio slideshow about the EOT and the FIRST LEGO League. The
folks at LEGO Education said it was "a great overview of the FLL
experience."
The Engineers of Tomorrow offer classes in LEGO Robotics to
after-school and library groups. Contact Mary for more

Our research project was a movie
based on our energy audit of the Providence Children's
Museum:
The EOT scored 390, 385 and 355 in the robot game, winning robot
performance. You can read our tech manual for more information
about our robot and programming.

Here is our 390 run in Round #2.

The EOT conducted an energy audit of the Providence Children's Museum for their FLL POWER
Puzzle Project. They toured the museum on 10/30, and are busy
analyzing the Museum's utility bills. The EOT will present their
plan to improve energy efficiency and conservation at the museum at
the FIRST LEGO League Championship Tournament on January 12, 2008
at Roger Williams University.
On September 16, the EOT met Dr. Stephen Hamburg of Brown University to discuss
how to be an energy guerilla. Dr. Hamburg is the guy who convinced
Walmart to heavily market, and install in their stores, compact
flourescent bulbs.
On August 17, Dom
Joseph Byron, O.S.B. gave the EOT team a tour of the
Portsmouth Abbey's Wind Turbine. It's been up and running since
March 2006, and has produced over 1.5 million KW hours of
electricity. The power the Abbey doesn't use is sold back to the
grid. Br. Joseph taught us how the turbine works, showed us the
safety features that shut it off if the wind is too strong or if
there is a power emergency in the nearby sub station. The final
picture is of the inside of the wind turbine, looking
up.
