Jeffer"sun"s Lego League Team |
|
|
2007 |
Each September the First Lego
League provides teams from around the world with an annual
Challenge. The Challenge is based on a set of real-world problems
facing scientists and engineers today. It has two parts: a robot game and
a project.
In the robot game, teams design, build, test, and program autonomous robots that must perform a series of tasks, or missions. In the project, teams conduct research and create a technological or engineering solution to an aspect of the Challenge and present that solution For roughly eight fast-paced weeks, each team is guided by at least one adult coach, and works as a group to overcome obstacles and meet challenges while learning from and interacting with their peers and adult mentors. Teams work to find creative solutions to the problems presented to them in the Challenge. They then compete in tournaments among the Erie School District and Erie County Schools |
