Jr FIRST LEGO Robotics
Calling all Junior FIRST LEGO Robotics Teams
Dear Whitson Elementary Families
We are pleased to announce that Junior FIRST LEGO Robotics teams will be back this year! Come choose and solve real world problems while building and programming Lego Robotics. We are in the process of forming teams for Whitson. If you're interested in participating, please return the portion below by Thursday January 28, 2016.
Junior FIRST LEGO League captures young children's curiosity and directs it toward discovering the wonders of science and technology. Junior FIRST LEGO League was developed to introduce 6 - 9 year-olds (grades K-3) to science concepts and teamwork. The program was created through a partnership between FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) and the LEGO Group.
Who Can Participate?
- Open to all K-3rd grade students.
- All levels are welcome, beginning-advanced.
How It Works?
- Students work in teams of 6 students plus 2 coaches.
- Children design and construct a model using LEGO elements and motorized parts
- Develop problem solving, organizational, and team building skills.
- Students present their research journey on a poster.
- Attend a community-hosted official Junior FIRST LEGO League Expo.
When And Where Will We Meet?
- Meeting times and dates will vary depending on teams.
- Teams will typically meet once a week at Whitson.
- The expo is scheduled for May.
