FIRST® LEGO® League - CHALLENGE (Gr. 5-6)
FIRST LEGO League
Designed for children in grades 5-6, CHALLENGE teams engage in research, problem-solving, coding, and engineering - building and programming a LEGO® robot that navigates the missions of a robot game. This program is contingent on having at least one additional parent coach to co-managet the team. Tuhan Nguyen will be present to run each class, but to be in complience with FIRST guidelines, there must be two adults present with the team. If you are interested in being a parent coach, please contact Tuhan at Nguyent@fpsct.org, and Kevin Riendeau, Enrichment Supervisor, at riendeauk@fpsct.org. This responsibility may be split between multiple parents and no technical experience is required. NEW THIS YEAR, FIRST® and LEGO® have phased in the SPIKE PRIME, a new motor hub designed to perform significantly better than the now-obsolete EV3. In the SUBMERGED challenge, teams will use creative thinking and LEGO® technology to explore the layers of the ocean and bring their learnings and ideas to the surface as they “sea” into the future. It is important to note that FLL Challenge is on a different level than FLL Explore, as it is a competition level program, meaning that the robot and project that the students work on will be what they present and compete with against other teams. In order to ensure the team is prepared for the competition, students are expected to attend all meetings and must be committed to the hard work involved. Students may be asked to complete homework between meetings and additional meetings may be held near the day of the competition if required. The registration deadline is September 12th The course fee includes the cost of supplies.
