Broken Doors

Even when he was still young, my child gets fascinated with mechanical and moving objects that every time we go out and spend family time at the mall we never miss stopping by at the toy store to buy robots of different kinds. He still has all the robots, even if he is already in grade school, those that we bought before along with new ones and never missed a day playing and doing a make believe game with all of the toys, which he pretends to be its maker.   When he was a grader he never missed any Science class or activity either inside or outside of his school and every end of the school year this subject gets the highest mark, his interest of robots made him love Science. Upon realizing this potential from our son, one summer we enrolled him in a learning camp that provided children with exposure to areas they excel at but making it more fun and easy to learn, thus it lets the child appreciate more the field they like most. He was exposed to several science toys and different games involving different topics about Science and what captivated him was when they were shown different robots that moves, during his camp days. The robot kits, which the camp often provide as part of their activities, assembling robots were provided together with other educational toys such as legos to assemble and make a robot out of it with the help of what they learned during their informal play classes. Along with classmates and friends they were asked to make robots out of the legos provided and were requested to present them by the end of the camp to others so that they will also be encourage and start engage in such type of learning. With all his heart he showed us all and explained why he build such robot at the end of the summer camp, it was a funny yet amazingly assembled Japanese super hero as his culminating project.
