By
day two, I hear “I need help” out of habit then it is followed-up with “Never
mind, I can do it.” It is really rewarding and they can do it.

Very cool. There’s something very powerful there.

How many hours to you
personally put into this program?
|
20 hours for the camps. Then I find that it takes about 2 to 3 hours outside
of camp per every hour spent in camp (40 to 60 total hours). Most of the time
is spent sorting the sets. Then after the first camp, deconstructing the sets
and placing them in bags.

Do you do it alone, or do you have help?

I do have limited help (my family mostly and a few other LUG members.:) )
CedarLUG is not very large, three main adults and a bunch of kids. Since the
camps are during the days I have the most flexible schedule and I came up with
the idea, I do most of the work. Like any “baby” I enjoy it the most. Next
year, if enrollment continues and we go to a 5th or 6th camp, I will probably
need more help. I don’t have that flexible of schedule.

I’ve had my students make their own kits. They have way more hands than I do.
And once the kits are made, I can re-use them in more time-compressed
situations.
The car race sounds like a great time. I’m trying something along these lines
at UU church camp next month. At the risk of making ten-year-olds cry, I’d like
to do some of the things The Rev does in his Ultimate Lego Vehicle contest:

Any photos, Brian?
Thanks for telling us about this event! Can’t wait to hear how it goes!
