Rubik's Cube Competition in Costa Rica!
During our trip to Costa Rica, we made a visit to a Rubik's Cube competition that the local library was holding. Not only was it very big but it also was very intricate. They had many different sections of the competition. For, example the competition was not only for 3x3, but there was also, 4x4, 5x5, mega mix, and pyramid cube. There was also a beginner's contest and an expert contest for each one of those cubes.
Drone Day
On May 20th, Tech 101 Kids went to participate in the 2nd annual Drone day event sponsored by IDream Engineering. Students and teachers from the IDream Engineering program set up four stations in the school gym to teach everyone the basic principles of creating and flying a drone. One station for building, another for programming, and the last two stations for flying the drone.
Tenafly Stem Night
Hello, it is me, Brandon and recently Tech 101 Kids had participated at a Stem Night at Tenafly. The event took place in a gym but also had extended into separate areas such as other classrooms and hallways. The volunteers were kids from the middle school. They were very helpful with setting up all the exhibits and providing us with what we needed. There were many exhibitions including ourselves that you could explore. For example, you could go racing with your friends using a power jack, walk on cartons of eggs without them breaking, or equip a 3D printed hand that would function with the flick of the wrist belonging to the Enable Community Foundation.
Augmented Reality Business Card!
Recently I have been working on improving our business card. I realized that I could add as many colors and pictures as I wanted but what could make it stick out from the other business cards? What better way to do that than by incorporating today’s technology into it!

Barnes and Nobles
On November 5th and 6th of 2016, Tech101Kids tested our robots, packed our bags, and headed off to the Barnes and Nobles of both Woodland Park and Paramus. Woodland Park on Saturday and Paramus on Sunday. We arrived promptly and were greeted by generous staff and a nice large space to work with. We finished setting up and we were already getting visitors. We could tell by the amount of visitors we had already received that today was going to be a busy day. We showcased many of our fan-favorites such as Jerry the talking plant, the banana piano, and our collection of Rubik’s cubes. We also had a newcomer that we had been working on beforehand. SNM (Spinning Notecard Machine) proved to be a fun and popular attraction and we will definitely be bringing it to more events. We got tons of great visitors and we hope we get invited back again next year.
