YNN Rochester and Time Warner Cable are working to "Connect a Million Minds."

It's a nationwide effort to focus kids on science, technology, engineering, and math. A great example is the FIRST Robotics Competition.

The championships in Atlanta Georgia were going on this weekend and several teams from the Rochester area were in attendance, including Naples, Webster Schroeder, and Penfield.

Team 15-11 from Penfield, also known as the Rolling Thunder outlasted almost all of the teams from the rest of the state before they were eliminated.

Time Warner Cable is the parent company of YNN. For more on the "Connect A Million Minds" campaign you can log onto
