Last night, Madison presented her semester project for her TREC class. (TREC is Bentonville's term for gifted and talented) Now, we've always known that Madison was quite the creative child. I tended to pride myself in the fact that she HAD to get it from me. However, last night she really amazed us.
She had to design and build a bridge alone using skewers, cardboard paper towel rolls, and other various flimsy materials. She had talked about working on this project, but I dismissed it as a mere TinkerToy project. Last night, she had to prove her ability as a bridge engineer by allowing a fellow classmate to drive a small robotics car up a ramp, across the bridge, and down the other side. A couple of the bridges before Madison's caved in as the car made its way across. I was holding my breath as the robot car proceeded up the ramp..... slowly across the bridge, and down the other side. YEA Madison!
Her Daddy, the engineer brainy one in the family, was very impressed and proud. He might just get his token engineer after all.....

it's probably her awesome 2nd grade teacher that gave the motivation all those years ago to become a successful 5th grade engineer.
Wow! that looks awesome. :)
