The FIRST Lego League (FLL®) is a competition that challenges young people between 9 and 15 to explore the social role of technology and technology on the basis of various assignments. The assignments are hung on a theme each year and defined in the annual changing "Challenge'. The students work in teams of up to ten participants to perform the assignments as best as possible and show the result during regional and national finals. The assignments are:
Design, build and program a robot.
The FLL is both the robot and the . So you have the robot competitions and the project where the students come up with a solution to a global social theme. We've had three FLL teams at our school over the last few years.
The core values are the cornerstones of the FLL program. They are among the fundamental elements that distinguish the FLL from other programmes of its kind. By embracing the core values, participants learn that friendly competition and mutual benefit are not isolated goals, and that helping another is the basis of teamwork.
- We're a team;
- With the help of our coaches and mentors we do the work to find solutions;
- We are aware that our coaches and mentors do not know everything. We learn together;
- We respect the principle of friendly competition;
- What we discover is more important than what we win;
- We share our experiences with others;
- We show Gracious ProfessionalismTM (sportivity) in everything we do;
- We're having fun!
For 9 years, a number of first and second graders from the LCL have participated in the FIRST Lego League and our students have already dragged in quite a few cups.
