Interested in the FIRST LEGO Robotic League this fall?
If you are the parent of a rising 4th or 5th grader, and if
your child is interested in the FIRST Lego League (FLL) program, please plan to
attend a parent meeting on Monday,
May 5th at 5:30 in the Claxton gym.
For
the 2014 fall season, the theme is all about the future of learning -- Learning Unleashed! From the
challenge preview: “Teams will teach adults about the ways that kids need and
want to learn.” Teams will research current solutions and propose innovations
of their own. Each team also designs, builds
and programs a robot to compete in a game based on the same theme. Through all
of this, teams must embrace the core values of teamwork, community service,
"coopertition" and fun. Teams will compete in a regional tournament
in November.
There are a limited number of spaces per team, and students
must apply to participate. Applications are due Friday May 16th and can be downloaded here or a hard copy can be picked up from Ms. Stewart in the front office.
At the parent meeting, learn more about the program, what
students can expect and the commitment required to participate. We also need parents to make this
happen! If you may be interested in
helping to coach or mentor a team, please come!
If you can't attend, please contact
Jenny Manner at mannerje@gmail.com
or Sarah Thornburg at sthornburg@mwbavl.com.
