Join us for a day of fun, laughter and food as we head to Minneapolis to see Nobody's Perfect, written by Simon Williams and enjoy an amazing buffet lunch. The show will be at the beautiful Minneapolis Scottish Rite Temple Auditorium. Registration deadline is Thursday, May 21. When shy single dad and aspiring novelist Leonard Loftus can't get published, he submits his book to a feminist press under a female pen name — and wins. There's just one catch: the publisher insists on meeting the author. Desperate for the prize money, Leonard creates a dazzling alter ego, disguising himself as his own flamboyant "aunt." With his clever teenage daughter and mischievous father in on the secret (for a price), the ruse quickly spins out of control — especially when Leonard falls head over heels for Harriet, the very publisher he's deceiving. In the spirit of Some Like It Hot, Tootsie, and Mrs. Doubtfire, this acclaimed romantic comedy delivers big laughs, fast-paced chaos, and heartfelt charm, packed with sharp one-liners and irresistible humor. Think Some Like It Hot, Tootsie, and Mrs. Doubtfire - A classic romantic comedy with a twist, that has belly laughs galore. The Kansas City Star says "Evenings in the Theatre don't come better than this. I laughed so hard I was gasping for breath."

This is a large complicated kit, so we will spend most of the week building the arm. It will take most of the week to complete. Once your Junior Engineer completes their robot arm, they will have the opportunity to build a robot with my LEGO robotics kits. Your instructor, Mr. Kilbane, is a local scout leader and a veteran STEM teacher. He has been writing and running STEM camps for over 20 years and just completed his 12th season as a FIRST Robotics Competition mentor and coach. This camp is for those kids who love to build and can easily work on a project for an hour or two. I do have a Junior Build-a-Bot camp for younger kids and my regular Build-a-Bot camp as well.
