Girl Power!

Doyenne inspiration is an all girl robotics competition held last weekend.  I have been working with the Johnston county female robotics team. The girls learned a lot about programming, building (and rebuilding) robots and most of all teamwork.  Our team was on the second place alliance, losing the last match by one point! Some of the teams had as many as 20 girls, we did ours with 6.  Small but mighty!

Where else would this sculpture be found, but in front of a library.

Her name in lights

The Ava Gardner museum on the main street of Smithfield, NC still has her name in lights.  She grew up near Smithfield.  They say she needed a voice coach before she could be in pictures due to her thick North Carolina accent.
