FLL Vernon Qualifying Event
October 28, 2009
Registration for the Vernon FLL (FIRST Lego League) qualifying event is now open. Sponsored by RAGE Robotics and Team Paragon, teams must do well in this event in order to advance to the state-wide competition later in the year.
FLL introduces younger students to real-world engineering challenges by building Lego-based robots to complete tasks on a thematic playing surface. FLL teams, guided by their imaginations and adult coaches, discover exciting career possibilities and, through the process, learn to make positive contributions to society.
Elementary and middle-school students get to:
- Design, build and program robots using Lego Mindstorms technology
- Apply real-world math and science concepts
- Research challenges facing today’s scientists
- Learn critical thinking, team-building and presentation skills
- Participate in tournaments and celebrations
What FLL teams accomplish is nothing short of amazing. It’s fun. It’s exciting. And the skills they learn will last a lifetime.
The Vernon competition is scheduled for Saturday, November 21 at Vernon Center Middle School. Admission is free and all are encouraged to attend. Please come out and see how our students are preparing for their future while having loads of fun.
