Darcy, when you reach middle school, see if they have a team that competes in the FIRST Lego League competition. That’s sort of a intro to the FIRST Robotics program. From there, when you reach high school, see if they have a FIRST team. It’s a pretty intense competition once the season kicks off – Brian spent afterhours time four times a week, including Saturdays.

I found HTGYG through the Babylon Podcast so it was so cool to find this interview! I’m new to both B5 in general and the podcast, and I always enjoy listening to Tim. He always has such good insights and seems like such a sweet guy.

This is also my first time listening here. I don’t have any kids myself, but I passed the site along to a friend who is expecting her first baby and she was thrilled to learn about it!
