FIRST Lego League with Fourth Grade!

FIRST (For Inspiration and recognition of Science and Technology )Lego League (FLL) is a National competition is a program that supports students in order to introduce them to science and technology in a sporty atmosphere.
The objective is to:
  1. make kids enthusiastic about science and technology
  2. to equip the participants with the idea of team spirit
  3. to encourage children and youngsters to solve complex tasks in a creative way
The basis of FLL is a robotics tournament in a cheerful atmosphere, where kids and youngsters need to solve a tricky “mission” with the help of a robot. The kids are researching a given topic within a team, they are planning programming and testing an autonomous robot to solve the mission. The FLL Teams take the opportunity to experience all steps of a real product development process: solving a problem under time pressure with insufficient resources and unknown competitors. FLL is a small microcosmos of real business life in all its respects. This year the topic is all about Architecture! My favorite subject. We are examining real world problems and exploring possible solutions. We'll keep you posted on our team progress!
