International Judge

On Friday, Bob was one of the judges who evaluated an engineering competition sponsored by the Technical University of Moldova.  Each team received an identical box containing several supplies.  The goal was to construct something from cardboard (using only what was in the box) that would separate ping pong balls according to weight.  Some ping pong balls were filled with air, some pingpong balls were filled half way with water and some were filled completely with water.

Bob was the international judge.   I was the international shopper and photographer.  The event took place at Mall Dova.  The kids did a good job.  There were six teams and 3 of them succeeded in separating the pingpong balls.

 Getting started.

 Now things are starting to take shape.  You can see some of the mall.  it is very nice.
Let the judging begin!  The sign in the window says, "We Love Shirt"
Robert was interviewed by the local TV news crew.  Don't know if they put it on TV or not.  After all, he was the International Judge.
