A follow up post: As part of NASA Stennis Day, Team 456 spent the day at the Mississippi State Capitol yesterday. We promoted FIRST and STEM education in Mississippi to our State Leaders. Everything went wonderfully! Our team was recognized on the Senate floor and we were able to engage many, many Legislators, the Governor, and the First Lady of MS. We took our 2011 LogoMotion robot and encouraged any and all to drive it around the Capitol Rotunda. We put together a short video of some of the highlights of some of the various driving done by some of our State Leaders including the Governor and First Lady and a couple of astronauts who were also in attendance.

We will be posting more photos on our team website (

We had an AWESOME time and want to specifically thank Chris Copelan and all the NASA Stennis Space Center staff for inviting us to share in this wonderful opportunity. Our team was inspired and we hope we were inspiring to our State Leaders.
