FLL – FIRST LEGO League

FLL stands for FIRST LEGO League. Teams are usually up to twelve people, in grades 4 through 8. Jr. FLL is grades k-3. They design and build a small robot out of Lego’s, programming it on either an NXT or an RCX “brick” to complete a set of tasks. Also, they have to come up with a creative skit that helps to solve whatever “issue” that year’s challenge is about. FLL helps build up to FRC because the members learn basic programming, teamwork, and lots of creativity. In this year’s challenge, “Food Factor Challenge”, the teams learned about how food is produced, packaged, and shipped. To get more information on this challenge, click here.

On November 12^th, CORE 2062 hosted a FLL tournement at Waukesha South High School, along with helping out at the Marquette Tournement on November 19^th.
