Robot Kids Update

Posted by Eric at 1:43 pm. Filed under: General

Remember the kids who beat MIT in the robot contest? Well the AZ Star has an update (via Gringo Unleashed):

The Wired article on the four Carl Hayden students appeared about five weeks ago. Since then, nearly $53,000 has poured into a “La Vida Robot Scholarship Fund” opened after hundreds of people e-mailed Wired and Carl Hayden High School offering financial assistance to the boys.

The shy teen still shakes his head in amazement while discussing the Robotics Four’s good fortunes.

“We really didn’t expect any of this,” he said. “But I’m amazed that people have such good hearts and care enough to want to help us get educated. I can’t express how much that really means to all of us.”
