Hi , 

Coming to you from FIRST^® LEGO^® League HQ in Manchester, NH, USA.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“When I was a kid, we’d rent Indiana Jones movies on VHS tapes. It inspired a whole generation of scholars because we saw the excitement, the passion, and the drama. What’s amazing to me about archaeology is the stories are even better than what you see in a Hollywood movie.”  

- Sarah Parcak, Space Archaeologist
