Dear invitees:
Members of the Tucson LEGO Club (aka Tucson
Energizers) would like to present to you the First LEGO League
Challenge 2007 (Power Puzzle) to show their appreciation of your
sponsorship and support.
The team competed in the Southern Arizona Regional tournament in
Tucson, and was qualified to advance to the Arizona FLL Final
tournament in Phoenix on 12/15/2007.
At the Regional tournament, the team was 2nd place
in Robot Performance and 3rd place overall.
At the State Final tournament, the team placed 3rd in Robot
Performance.
Team members are prepared to show you the missions
performed during the tournaments, as well as a research project
they conducted with Habitat for Humanity (HFH). The intent
of the project was to suggest to HFH ways to include energy
efficient methods in building houses.
Please join us in the large conference room at Ward
6 Council Office on Sunday 12/23/2007 beginning @
2:00 pm. Your presence will be greatly appreciated as it
shows these young inventors that the supporters are interested in
their achievements.
We apologize for the short notice. However,
this is the only time that would allow us to include our former
coach (Chris Minamyer). Chris is in the Air Force in Utah
and will be on leave to visit family in Tucson.
Best regards,
Tuyen Chu (on behalf of The Tucson Energizers)

 "LEGOs
for Love" to aid refugees in Tucson
Arizona Jewish Post, September 14, 2007, p.20
Lindsay O'Neill, daughter of Nancy and Harold O'Neill,
is building a life-sized LEGO Clubhouse and asking friends and
family to support her project. The money will be used to sponsor
refugee children. "These children come to this country with only the
clothes on their back. My goal is to raise money for these children
and assist in buying them their basic needs for survival," says
Lindsay, who has already raised more then $1,400.
Once the Lindsay's "LEGOs for Love" project is completed, she will
donate the LEGO sets to children.

Another Year of Success for LEGO Masters Teams and Coach
It was 5:30 am on a cold Saturday morning, but several Tucson kids and their parents were already
driving on I-10 heading toward Phoenix. The destination was Carl Hayden High School, where the 4th Annual
First LEGO League (FLL) AZ State Championship will begin. Once again, the Tucson LEGO Club had
garnered enough community support to send two teams, the Nano Ninos and the Nano Droids, to the
Championship under the tutoring and coaching of Chris Minamyer.
Each team has a total of five members consisting of new comers and veterans. As words got around
about the educational value of LEGO Robotics, this year's Tournament participants had more than doubled.
However, our two teams quickly found their assigned "home base" inside a gymnasium and quickly set to
work.
No sooner than the teams were ready to settle that it was time for the Opening Ceremony. Beside the
usual introduction of judges and local sponsors, this year's participant were treated to an impromptu visit from
Governor Janet Napolitano. After a short speech, the Governor sent the kids back to their "home bases"
with an even higher level of adrenaline as she pointed out that this is like the Olympics of the minds, and
that homework and schoolwork were the exercises in preparation for the competition.
As in past events, the Tournament included the Robot competition in which a pre-programmed robot had
to achieve as many of the tasks/challenges on a prescribed course, a science project presentation, and an
interview by the judges about the robot making process. This year's theme was Nano-technology; and both
of our teams chose to use it for medical purposes in their science project presentations. The Nano Ninos
wanted to use it for the treatment of Polio, and the Nano Droids the detection and treatment of melanoma.
As for the robot competition, the Nano Droids got off to a good start which earned them 280 points.
This was enough to placed them in 1st place for both the 1st and 2nd rounds. Apparently, there must have
been some pretty strong late comers in the 3rd round as the final scores for the robot competition placed the
Nano Droids in 3rd place, and the Nano Ninos in 4th place.
In the end, regardless of the teams' placement, every kids that participated in the Tournament was
awarded a medal symbolizing their winning attitude for embracing science and technology. However, in an
unprecedented fashion, the judging committee awarded our very own Chris Minamyer the Appreciation Award.
Anyone would agree that each and every single Coach/Mentor at the Tournament deserves this Award equally.
However, in the eyes of the Nano Ninos, the Nano Droids and their parents, there is not and won't be another
one as special and deserving as Chris.
We would like to extend our deepest appreciation to Howard Ward (TerraSystems Southwest Inc.) and
Laura Burge (Ward 6) for their unconditional support and contribution without which our young inventors
would not be able to explore their scientific capabilities.

Exploring existing sciences at the molecular level
There is a new frontier that will impact every facet
of society, from medicine to computers to the environment. As
visionaries and scientists, the 2006 FIRST LEGO League teams will
explore unimaginably amazing new technologies that start in the
Nano world and lead to the things we do and use every day. Teams
will discover the secrets of everyday stuff through this cutting
edge field of research, where carbon Nanotubes, Buckyballs,
molecular motors and quantum dots will be considered part of daily
conversations. Sure it sounds like science
fiction, but the future has arrived!

FIGHTING URBAN
BLIGHT WITH TEENAGE MIGHT
By Burr Snider,
Edutopia, February, 2006, Vol. 2 Issue 1, pp 46-49
 UrbanPlan
is an academically challenging, classroom-based, fifteen-hour
study unit in which teams of high school juniors and seniors
compete to land the redevelopment contract for the decaying
district of Elmwood. The Elmwood district, in the city of
Yorktown, is dying. The goal requires the students to address such
diverse issues as affordable housing, transit needs, open-space
beautification, historical preservation, and the district's retail
requirements. Each team member researches an assigned area, then
reports to the group. Once a project plan is hammered out on
laptops, the teams construct a preliminary model of their design
out of LEGO blocks and then go before a "city council" of
volunteer land-use professionals to pitch their project. After a
detailed grilling, students tweak their product for a final
presentation. The "contract" is awarded to the students who
produce the most responsive and compelling vision for Elmwood.

Rubber band powered vehicle challenge
(January 15, 2006).
The first club challenge for the Lego Masters group
involved designing a rubber band powered vehicle.
The vehicle was required to travel approximately 12 feet and stop
in a specified 12 inch square.
This task was harder than it sounds! Each child present his
unique approach to this problem. A variety of vehicles were
built and with each iteration the vehicles traveled closer to the
goal.
Finally, only Thomas Mathine's vehicle accomplished the task. He
got a prize from Chris who initiated this challenge. See you next
Sunday and be ready for a new bi-weekly challenge from Chris, our
award-winning coach. Please visit our new and old photo albums by
