Mentors sought for students' robotics teams

The Maryland Heights Department of Human Services is trying a new way to keep elderly residents active — a Nintendo Wii league.

Each weekly event will be held at an independent living facility or community center and events will accommodate eight to ten players, who will play in six rotations of about 20 minutes each. Home Instead Senior Care is the sponsor.

Seniors interested in learning more about the Wii system may attend "Wii 101," a demonstration that will begin at 1 p.m. Thursday at Maryland Heights Centre, 2344 McKelvey Road. To sign up or learn more call Joann Eng-Hellinger at 314-434-1919.
