Game Review, A Toy actually!

Did ya know this gyroscope is made in the USA?

Did ya know there is a Gyroscope Championship of the World?

Fun was had by all at the 12th Annual Gyroscope Championship of the World Friday, August 16th! The contest was held in Hagerstown, Indiana, the home of USA-made Tedco Toys Original Gyroscope. Open to all experienced and novice gyroscope spinners, the contest was sponsored by the Hagerstown Optimist Club and TEDCO Toys and is a highlight of the town's annual Jubilee Days celebration. Each entrant was given a free gyroscope, pedestal and string compliments of TEDCO Toys and given instructions on how to wind the string and make the gyroscope spin. Contestants were divided into 3 age groups: age 1 to 7, age 8 to 12 and age 13+. Official timers and judges recorded the time of each contestant's spin and awards were given to the longest spins in each age group.

TEDCO has long believed that busy hands build strong minds and that principle was put into play at this contest. Younger contestants who had never seen a gyroscope before were amazed by its mystical spinning abilities. Big eyes of wonder and ohs of surprise were prevalent. Their tiny hands were just as busy as their inquisitive minds, trying to figure out how a gyroscope works.

Older, more experienced kids shared their techniques for winding the string tight, holding the outer ring before pulling their string and placing the gyroscope straight for the spin. Even though it was a competition, the camaraderie and thirst for learning science were the real winners.
