Today I threw chopsticks at balloons. It was all in the name of promoting STEM education. I gave an hour-long presentation at the Lake Hazel Library about growth mindset, grit, and failure culminating in a world record attempt for “Most balloons burst in one minute with chopsticks”. From 2 meters away I threw chopsticks at balloons mounted on the wall knife-throwing style trying to break more than 24 in one minute (the previous record).
I achieved 28 for my 54th world record. Not bad for an unathletic guy who got picked last for two-hand-touch football and wasn’t smart enough for the gifted program.
I juggled, balanced, and had an otherwise wonderful time with 100 kids and their parents today as part of the library summary program.
Next up is Wizard World ComicCon in Boise on Saturday for most socks removed in one minute blindfolded (off of other people).
