Isaac had his regional Science Olympiad competition yesterday. He competed in 3 events-- Physics lab, which consisted of a test portion and a portion where they built a wind turbine and tried to get the maximum amount of power out of it. Mousetrap vehicle, where he had to make a car powered by 1 or 2 mousetraps. The car had to go out between 7 and 8 meters, then return to its starting position. And Write it/Do it, which is Isaac's best event. One person sits in a room and writes a detailed description of an object created with some kind of building toy. They are not allowed to use any pictures or symbols. After 25 minutes, they hand their description off and the second person uses it to try and build a duplicate of the object. Isaac is always the builder.

Isaac got a bronze medal in the physics lab, a silver in the mousetrap vehicle, and a gold in Write it\Do it. His team came in second in the region and will go on to the state competition.
