I received a note from the office containing an email with this inside during 5th period today:

“Hi, my name is Maia Sebek and I’m 15 years old and homeschooled. I read in the Seattle Times about your amazing accomplishment and how you built the omnibot and were selected to go to an international robotics compeition.”

*”Im writing to you because I’m working on a project to send the Woodland Park Zoo elephants to an elephant sactuary, and one of the goals of this project is to build a very basic prototype of an elephant robot.”

*”If it’s big enough, it could be in the Fremont Solstic Parade and/or Greenwood Seafair Parade. If it’s smaller, we have lots of ways to use it, such as showing the Woodland Park Zoo how it could teach people about elephants using robotics, instead of keeping elephants. Would you be interested in working on something like this? It would be a pretty basic elephant robot; maybe it could flap its ears or move its trunk, and we will be starting it very soon”

*”If you are intersted or would like more information, please call me at **********, which is my home phone number. Thank you very much!”

It sounds like a very exciting project that we should pursue. We need our PR people to contact Maia and Woodland park zoo. Any thoughts on what course of action would be greatly appreciated.
