Whiz Kid: Ebeling Student Finds Passion in LEGO Robotics

Michael Bayer

• Whiz Kid's Age: 12

• Whiz Kid's School:

• Whiz Kid's Accomplishment: Michael is a member of his school's LEGO Robotics team, but his interest in robotics extends outside the schoolyard as well. He practices programming the robots he builds at home to perform specific tasks and uses this knowledge to help his team compete against other area schools in district and regional competitions. He is also an honor roll student.

• Whiz Kid's Key to Awesomeness: He succeeds because he works very hard in all he does. It is such a sense of pride to see him accomplish his goals. He wants to continue doing LEGO Robotics when he enters Bemis Junior High next year.
