First LEGO League Regional Qualifier
February 12, 2013
|
FIRST® (For Inspiration and
Recognition of Science and Technology) LEGO® League (FLL) is an exciting, fun
global robotics and innovation program that ignites an enthusiasm for
discovery, science, teamwork and technology in kids ages 9 to 14. Students have the opportunity to solve real-world challenges by building
LEGO-based robots.
Here is the bad news, team registration for this year’s competition is now closed. So why am I telling you about it? The public is invited to view part of the competition from Noon-1:15pm. Take your kids and get them excited. While you are there you can learn more about the program. If you can't make it to the event, then visit University of Utah Technology Venture Development.
Elementary and middle-school students get to:
Design, build and program robots using LEGO
MINDSTORMS technology
Apply real-world math and science concepts
Research challenges facing today’s scientists
Learn critical thinking, team-building and
presentation skills
Participate in tournaments and celebrations
What FLL teams accomplish is nothing short of
amazing. It's fun. It’s exciting. And the skills they learn will last a
lifetime.
In the 2012 Senior Solutions Challenge, over
200,000 children ages 9-14 (9-16 outside US, Canada and Mexico) from more
than 60 countries will explore aging and how it may affect a person's
lifestyle.
Teams research obstacles and then suggest ways
to improve the quality of life for the seniors affected. Teams also build,
test and program a robot using LEGO MINDSTORMS® robot to solve missions on an
obstacle course.
The
FIRST Lego League regional qualifier event will be held at Sunrise Ridge
Intermediate School located at 3167 S. 2350 E. in St. George, Utah.
