 | 18 Elkhart FIRST LEGO League Teams came together October 2nd to practice for the FLL (FIRST LEGO Leauge) Qualifying Tournament in November. FLL is part of FIRST, For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology. FIRST is trying to help inspire kids grades K-12 to love science and technology and seek jobs in these high paying fields of work. FLL is part of FIRST making up the 4th-8th grade range of their 4 Robotics Programs. |
Each year FLL comes out with a different Theme for the 4x8 board the teams will run their robot on. This years theme is FLL World Class, which is all about Education and Learning in and outside the classroom.
 | Some of the missions this year were, Opening a Door to take Learning Outside the class room. Getting an Idea out of a Box, collecting skills from a search engine, and accessing a data cloud using a LEGO "key" teams had to build. |
The Elkhart Teams got to run their robots on the table for two 2 1/2 min rounds in which they would try to score as many points with their robot as they could.
