ALA update - Radio Shack STORE ONE opening

Friday morning Saafir, Joyce Baker, and Jonathon took 8 of the Design IT students that were involved in the Art Cycle to the Radio Shack STORE ONE opening in downtown Fort Worth. The students were there to show off their Sound Automata to anyone and everyone that came through the door. The kids did an amazing job of explaining the crickets, the sensors, the actual machine building, and the Design IT program. One of them, Cody Bodenmiller, got on camera with Telemundo, and there were many pictures and film taken of this by the parents who came to the event. We will be posting some of the pics here soon. We were able to have information sheets available for the public that described the Design IT programs at the clubs as well as the ALA. (Saafir and I were also talking about working some ideas at the clubs to get some displays made that could go inside STORE ONE before the summer is out.) The kids were able to then go around and play in the store, and they were able to talk about the program during those times as well to anyone who asked them (they were wearing their uniform shirts.) We hope this will be a great beginning to a long relationship between Design IT Studios, The Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, and Radio Shack. We look to go back in two weeks with more of the Design IT kids for another event. Pictures of this event will follow!
