Federal
Way, WA - On Saturday, October 7, 2006, more than 230 Club
members from across Washington met at Boys & Girls Clubs of King
County, Ron Sandwith EX3 Teen Center to participate in the inaugural
Techathalon. Representing both eastern and western Washington, Club
members demonstrated the true meaning of teamwork in four challenge
areas encompassing digital arts, computer construction, multimedia,
engineering and problem solving skills. 
In
addition, members had the opportunity to explore a variety of
hands-on science, technology and engineering activities in the
Exploratorium. This year's Exploratorium featured Space Odyssey from
the Pacific Science Center, LEGO Robotics by LEGO Education, XBox
Gaming and Development by Microsoft and much more! 
Federal
Way Mayor Mike Park and Senator Tracey Eide kicked off the event
with a reminder to all participants to follow their dreams, help
explore and advance technology and practice Internet safety. As a
special bonus, Senator Tracey Eide invited her special friend,
Clicky, the national spokesrobot for Netsmartz, to talk to members
about Internet safety.
