First Lego League

Beginning in 4th grade, many of our students participate in the FIRST LEGO League robotics challenge. Competition includes investigation and development of robotics solutions. Past issues have included the exploration of the Mars and the Arctic, urban challenges such as traffic congestion, and people with physical handicaps.

Working in teams, students design and program a LEGO robot to complete the challenge tasks. At local and state competitions, the robot’s success is secondary to the students’ demonstration of teamwork and their research into the challenge issue. Awards emphasize gracious competition and the team’s creativity in approaching the topic and the development of their robot.

We are very proud of our students’ accomplishments at the local and state tournaments.
