Highlands Elementary "THANK YOU" Cards

Hi, blog viewers!

Our recent visit to Highlands Elementary was much appreciated by students, parents, and teachers who wrote us thank you letters!

Here's some pictures, with translation on the side in case you can't read from the pictures.



"Dear Kalani Robotic Students, Thank you for teaching us how to build an electronic bristle bot. I've never had builded a electronic bristlebot it's so awesome building a bristle bot! It can do anything! But I didn't know that the brush made the bristlebot move. It was fun that my bristle bot had 4 legs on the bristle bot race my bristle bot wen faster. I won but I felt bad when Zion lose but we still had a good time!
-Mahalo! Klani high school students.

"Dear Kalani High School Robotic team,
Thank you for helping me make a Bristlebot. and it was a great experience. I did not know about electronics in till you told me about it. When I went home and showed my family they were amazed.
Sincerly, 
Brandon"



"Bristelbot Dec2 Bristelbots
Dear Kalani Robotic Team Students Thank You for coming to our school and letting us build our own Bristelbot. When I went home my mom and dad said it was cool. I really enjoyed playing with it and doing the sumo challenge and the bristlebot race.
I got to rebuild it was fun rebuilding the bristelbot. I had a great experience! I hope you guys come again Thank you,
Mahalo,
Jaydon"




"Dear Kalani High School Robotic students
We had a great experience I learned that the motor comes from a telepone. I also had a great time raceing and sumo battleing. We had so fun thank you Madisyan, james, courtney, and Mr. Silva for coming. Love Kekai: Aloha 12-2-14"

What a wonderful day we had building with you! My students were so excited! They learned about motors, movement, counter weight, batteries, etc... They couldn't stop talking about it!
You were all so patient (cont'd) with the students. I bragged about you guys to all my other teachers! Thanks again for the excellent life experience you gave my students! Good Luck with all your future endeavors!

Highlands and Mililani Elementary Bristlebot DEMOS [11/1 & 11/26]

Hello, Bristlebot fans!

We have recently started bringing back our bristlebot nights that were really popular in the past. We would bring over a load of bristlebots and teach children and their parents how to make one, and give examples of what they could make so that they would eventually stem off and create whatever they can imagine with the brush, googly eyes, rubberbands, battery, motor, and pipe cleaners given.

We've re-opened this business up but rather than doing this in the evenings, we have been visiting cafeterias full of children, or a classroom full of children during their school day to teach them how to build a bot, and hopefully inspire a younger generation to raise up future Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics students.

We had some very successful results, here. Take a look at our future STEM students! And their parents. And us.




Great idea for storing bristlebots after taking it out of the package!
