Water Survey!!

SUBJECT: Help with Water Survey!The Microbots are a First Lego League team from NC, USA with 6 homeschooled team members ranging in age from 11 to 13 yo. This is their third year of competing and each year brings new challenges and learning opportunities. Along with Lego Mindstorm robotics and programming, the First Lego League competition involves a research project based on some topic of interest worldwide. This year the topic is Climate Connections and the project is to identify some way climate is affecting teams' local communities as well as another community in the world, research the problem and come up with a solution. (More about First Lego League can be found at: http://www.firstlegoleague.org/ .)Our team has decided to focus on water conservation in the Cary/surrounding area and in Brisbane, Australia. They have created an on-line survey to ask people about water conservation/water use. The survey is open for 2 weeks (until November 3) and they're hoping to get a large response. You can find the survey link at their website at: http://water4tomorrow.org/ Please take 5 to 10 minutes to help the team by filling out the survey. Thank you! And feel free to pass this email on. The kids are hoping to hear from as many people as possible from around the world. They have a map on their website to check what parts of the world visitors are coming from and it's fun to watch the dots spread!
