Hi all,
Anyone in the southern New England area will be interested in the Rhode
Island School of the Future's annual "Robotic Park" exhibition of kids'
robotic creations, to be held Saturday, May 2, 1998 at the Peace Dale
Elementary School in Wakefield, Rhode Island.
I've worked with a number of the teachers who are involved in the this
project, and it's a really great group of teachers who inspire their kids
to create some awesome robotics projects. A number of the teachers are
using our MIT Programmable Bricks (the project that led to LEGO's
recently-announced Mindstorms Robotics Invention System).
The location is about 1 hour 45 mins drive from the Boston area. The
basic route is take 95 through Providence, get onto route 4 South (a
left-hand exit off the highway), then route 1 west. Several miles after
getting onto route 1, look for a Holiday Inn on the right hand side, and
take the right hand turn there. About a mile later, there is a traffic
light with a left hand turn onto rt 108. Take that; after a couple more
mi, Kersey Road will wind away from the road as a left just before a
sharp right hand bend in the road. There's a lawn equipment rental place
at this juncture. The Peace Dale school is immediately on the left when
you turn onto Kersey Road.
Hope to see you there! See enclosed for more info. I've also attached a
set of maps from MapQuest to help you get there.

Room 10 at Peace Dale School invites you to the Rhode Island School of
the Future annual Robotic Park Zoo. The Robotic Park Zoo will be held
May 2, 1998 at Peace Dale School, Peace Dale, R.I. The zoo will be open
from 10-3:30.We are expecting about 75 Robotic creations to be on
display. Students from grades 1-12 will be coming. Students from schools
all over RI will be here to share their robots. Please plan to come and
see the wonderful things we are doing in our classrooms.
These are the animals our class has created. We know after reading about
them you will want to see them in person on May 2, 1998.
PLEASE HELP SAVE THE GIANT PANDAS
Patches, the panda, making no sound at all, wanders slowly through the
misty mysterious Chinese Mountains. She is searching for a beautiful,
tasty bamboo forest in which she will eat bamboo shoots and leaves.
Except, to Patches surprise, there is not enough bamboo for her to eat.
For this reason she is sad. If you help save the bamboo forest you will
help save the pandas of China from starving to death.
CHICO THE WOLF
One dark Arizona night a wolf named Chico was hunting for rabbits. When
he sees his prey his eyes will blink like a bright moon. He will chase
the rabbit. Chico the wolf can run faster than a horse. When Chico
catches his prey he will take his food to his den, where he will eat it.
Then Chico will go out hunting again.
ELMO THE ELEPHANT
Elmo, the African elephant, lives in the Congo River Basin. Elmo runs
through the jungle in search of leaves to eat and ponds to get a drink
from. He is running home, blinking his eyes and moving his trunk up and
down. Elmo, is one of the last elephants in the world because elephants
are hunted and killed for their valuable white ivory tusks.
GEORGE THE GIANT GALAPAGOS TURTLE George, the
giant Galapagos turtle, lives on the Galapagos Islands. He roams
throught the trees looking for leaves to eat. He is also looking for
friends so his species will never end. George has a major problem, he is
the last Giant Galapagos Turtle living on the Galapagos Islands. He
cannot find a mate and therefore the Giant Galapagos Turtles will become
extinct.
