Homesteaders worked quickly to get everything done. They built houses, barns, and even corrals for animals. They plowed the fields with a hand plow that was pulled by oxen or horses. Most Homesteaders planted crops like rye, wheat, corn, and barley. They brought seeds in a large pouch including seeds from the food they ate. They later planted them when they got to the west.
Johnny cakes are sometimes called journey cakes because travelers took the cakes with them to eat on the way. Johnny cakes were very popular across the west. Travelers and settlers used corn to make the cakes because corn was easy to grow and Native Americans sold the corn to the travelers.
Pioneer housewives had a very hard life with no butcher, baker, or candle makers. Housewives had to prepare enormous meals, scale the fish and skin the game. Some cooks had their own garden that they tended to and planted. Also they milked the cow and skimmed the milk, and churned the milk to butter.
Every day water had to be brought into the house from the well to wash the dishes and food. Pots had to be scoured with sand, slicing, dicing, and beating had to be done with no mechanical aids. Even children had to help with the cooking. Housewives had a hard life, huh?

The LEBTRONYX team had a gyro sensor malfunction from the get go, but still did well on the Robot Game and very well on presenting their Project and the Core Values.
The LUNABOTS team snatched the Robot Design Award and came first during the playoffs, defeating all 13
teams.
Thanks everyone for your
support and providing the
SAU facilities for us to meet
and learn through this
incredible program of
combining math, science,
engineering and programing
skills with project and
presentation skills.
