BioBotz

Before that presentation I did not realize how far the group had come in their venture. I was amazed that within a year they had already been awarded multiple grants and have a chance at a huge $250,000 McArthur grant. Obviously this kind of achievment requires much passion, work, and dedication. They are very organized, hiring artists and web designers when needed and they seem to be moving quickly with their ideas. I especially like how they are targeting multiple areas of kids' lives such as video games, toys, and storybooks. I feel that kids will find the cartoonish characters fun and interesting, and they can learn about molecular machines without feeling like they are "learning" but simply by engaged exposure to them. I can definitely appreciate what this group is doing and I hope they can continue to move forward with this project.
