FIRST LEGO League

FLLlogo_color_RGB_300dpi_2009

FIRST LEGO League introduces younger students to real-world engineering challenges by building LEGO-based robots to complete tasks on a thematic playing surface. FLL teams, guided by their imaginations and adult coaches, discover exciting career possibilities and, through the process, learn to make positive contributions to society.

Students ages 9-14 (age 16 outside the US) get to:

checkbox red  Design, build, test and program robots using LEGO MINDSTORMS® technology
checkbox red  Apply real-world math and science concepts
checkbox red  Research challenges facing today’s scientists
checkbox red  Learn critical thinking, team-building and presentation skills
checkbox red  Participate in tournaments and celebrations

This program is a fantastic hands-on, project-based learning system. And like all other programs it is most effective as a learning tool at home!
