You may remember Maceo's befuddlement at his gift from Santa this year. It's a toy called a Turing Tumbler, named after famed mathematician Alan Turing.

| Hunh. What is it? I didn't ask Santa for this... |
It comes with a graphic novel with a space traveler named Alia who is trying to figure out a new world and it's broken down computer. She has challenges that involve moving parts and falling marbles that she has to complete. Well, yesterday, the boys spent over an hour working on the challenges and figuring out the solutions. It was amazing! They really enjoyed it AND they worked well together.

There were lots of ooohs and aaahs as they solved the pages and read further into the adventure.

| Look at that focus and cooperation! |
I am super excited for more rainy days and intellectual games with these guys!
