Our First Blog! :)

Hi, my name is Mrs. Whitted and I am the coach for the Molokai ForgetMeNots First LEGO League Robotics team.

Today in class we worked on researching information for our teams problem, which is memory loss. We covered a lot of different areas including how memory is stored, what memory loss is, who is affected and if it can be prevented!

One thing that I learned today is that, generally, people begin to experience memory loss around age 20. At this point tiny portions of our brain begin to decompose and die. I thought this was quite interesting because memory loss is usually considered something that doesn't impact people until they are much older.

Something I wonder about with memory loss is if people tend to lose their ability to store information in the brain first or if they lose their ability to recall information first.

Thanks for checking our blog! Check back this weekend for another blog from one of our team members! :)
