     FIRST Lego League prepares students for high school robotics. FLL is a program for students 9-14 years old and provides students LEGO Mindstorm kits and software. The program has an annual competition much like its older brother and is composed of two parts. One part is the assembly of a robot to complete tasks for a specific mission announced every year. Another is the Project in which students must answer a question related to the mission through a presentation that is preceded by research. The third is the core values category. Teammates have to make a board explaining how they have used the eight FLL core values inside and outside of FLL that season. FLL started in 1999 with the challenge FIRST Contact. Volcanic Panic was in 2000, Arctic Impact in 2001, City Sights in 2002, Mission Mars in 2003, No Limits in 2004, Ocean Odyssey in 2005, Nano Quest in 2006, Power Puzzle in 2007, Climate Connections in 2008, Smart Move in 2009, Body Forward in 2010, Food Factor in 2011, Senior Solutions in 2012, and Nature's Fury in 2013. The theme World Class will be for 2014.

     We at Vanden mentor FLL teams at Cambridge Elementay School, Foxboro Elementary School and Center Elementary School.

FLL: The Challenge

Jr. FLL and FLL

    Junior First Lego League is a hands-on program created to get young children from ages 6-9 interested in science and technology. Like FLL, there is a real-world challenge that has to be solved using research and their mind's imagination and thinking skills, being guided by coaches. Jr. FLL started in 2004 with the challenge No Limits (Disabilities). Ocean Odyssey was in 2005, Nano Quest in 2006, Power Puzzle in 2007, Climate Connections in 2008, Smart Move in 2009, Body Forward in 2010, Food Factor in 2011, Super Seniors in 2012, and Disaster Blaster in 2013. The challenge Think Tank will be for 2014.

     Using Jr.FLL Core Values, students work with LEGOs to create wonderful masterpieces that display what they learned and how they implemented it in their solution.
