WordPress isn’t working properly so I can’t update the blog from my computer. Hopefully it works here ony phone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We went to Worcester Polytechnic Institute this weekend. It was a beautiful day and both boys really liked it. Alan said he wants to go to college there too. 😄<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Who is the prospective student here?? 😄<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A classroom with whiteboards everywhere. They said the rooms are designed for collaborative learning or something like that.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
I like this cool riser setup. There is a HUGE screen facing it. This building houses a 3D printer room, a ton of makerspace type areas and freshman dorms upstairs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Does he look like a college student here? 😬<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
This building was designed to look like a church because someone wanted it that way, but it actually houses the music dept. They have multiple band opportunities! Also, that’s our tour guide, Sam.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
This is the admin building. Our tour guide said students never see the inside of this building unless they are misbehaving. 😄<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Toga and I enjoyed our day.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
I love these masked not-babies.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
This corner of the athletic center had a really great view of the athletic fields and tennis courts. The tennis courts are built on top of the parking garage, which was a student project years ago. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Just a cool building.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The library.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
This doggie loved the fountain! 😄 Sam told us that the fountain used to be programmed to reach a certain height all the time, but on windy days it would blow and get people wet. So a group of students designed a system of wind monitors stationed all around the area that control the fountain. When it’s windy, the fountain doesn’t go as high and therefore doesn’t get people wet. Smart!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
I took a picture of these pants figuring they were a joke I’m not smart enough to get. I showed Lex later and he told me it says WPI. Of course. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Gompie the Goat. Official mascot. Masked for our protection. 😄<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Eve tried to hug it but the horns made it difficult.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While Alan and B’Lake talked physics with the admissions people, the rest of us took some down time… apparently we needed space. 😄<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
