There's more oil in the oil-sands of northern Alberta than in all
of Saudi Arabia and the Oil Sands Discovery Centre along with
APEGGA has a "LEGO Engineering" event each year.  This year
they were hoping to have a "kid-friendly" LEGO expert drive up
and present.  As I'm a Bricksmith(tm) and the theme this year was
bridges, I was the perfect fit, and right around the time we were
discussing details Jake McKee announced the LEGO event kits.
He sent me one - Thanks Jake! - and I drove up last weekend.

If the chants of "LEGO - LEGO" were any indication, the kids had
a blast!  I gave my initial LEGO presentation (with emphasis on
trusses and my bridge kit as the featured example) and then the
kids built their own LEGO bridges.  While the judges were doing
their thing I presented over 650 slides showing the most amazing
LEGO creations I could find - most of the shots were from NALUG
events or the nine other websites I've linked to.  I also added
photos of the event to my gallery.  I had a great time, and it
was great to see Fort McMurray again after being away for a decade.

Now that the Brickshelf link has cleared, my site is ready for
anyone who is interested...     http://src.northcomp.com
