Recently I was asked to be the Master of Ceremonies for a FIRST Lego League event. I was given to understand that the primary requirements were a comfort level with middle schoolers, a sufficient energy level, and a silly hat.
I said sure. In fact I told them that I already owned a bit of headgear I refer to as "The Jeweled Fez of Robotic Supremacy" and that I had worn it while being MC for other robotic events.
FIRST Lego League is a highly organized system and provides a great service for middle school aged students.
Here's the field level view.
And me doing my thing:
Oh, I also wore my tuxedo with tails. I don't get enough opportunities to do so.
Among my duties of the day I sat down and interviewed most of the two dozen teams in attendance. A couple of the kids said "I really like your hat". In return I asked them: "Do you want one?". I had tossed in a couple of extras from my shamefully large collection of fezes.
Here I am with my Fez Bretheren.
(For the record, I decided at the last minute to not wear the Jeweled Fez. Rhinestones are a bit much for a daytime event. The Leopard Fez seemed a more appropriate choice.)
