FIRST LEGO LEAGUE IS HERE!! FIRST LEGO LEAGUE IS HERE!!
ANYONE in grades 5-8 is welcome! What is FLL? First Lego League is a robotics program for 9 to 14 year olds, which is designed to get children excited about science, technology, engineering, and math-- and teach them valuable employment and life skills. In FLL, teams learn both through what we do (the Robot Game and the Project) and how we do it (the FLL Core Values). Through the Robot Game teams build and program an autonomous robot using LEGO EV3 MINDSTORMS. Our team will have 2 ½ minutes to accomplish our chosen missions. Missions that are successful in the allotted time will receive completion points. Through the project, teams explore an actual problem that today’s scientists and engineers are trying to solve, develop an innovative solution to that problem (either by creating something that doesn't exist or build upon something that does), and share their findings with others. This year's theme is Into Orbit and will deal with solving problems in space. We are very excited to welcome Caterpillar as our sponsor this year! We look forward to their mentorship in our program. Our robotics season will be August-January-with meetings at least one day (2 1/2 hours) after school each week. If this sounds like something your child would like to join this year, please attend a parent and student meeting on Thursday, August 23 at 5:30 p.m in the Library at Pontiac Junior High School. The First Lego League team members will be chosen and notified Friday, August 24 before the end of the school day. If you are unable to attend or have questions please email the Head Coach, Christine Chiodo, at [email protected] First Lego League Site- https://www.firstinspires.org/robotics/fll This year's challenge- https://www.firstinspires.org/robotics/fll/challenge-and-season-info
