Robots, LEGO, Oh My!

A brand new La Crescenta Community FLL team called the STEManiacs is being started this fall.

FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science & Technology) was the brainchild of the well-known inventor and businessman, Dean Kamen, inventor of Segway. In the F.I.R.S.T. LEGO League, student teams are given two challenges. They must design an autonomous robot that gathers points by completing missions on a 4’ x 8’ playing field. They also research and develop a solution to a problem in keeping with this year’s theme--Nature’s Fury.

Teams typically meet for 3-5 hours per week from mid-August to mid-December.  Students, ages 9-14 years, will work collaboratively to do three things; build a LEGO robot, research the project, and focus on working together as a team through coopertition.

Teams are made up of 10 children, ages 9-14 yrs and will meet in La Crescenta on Sundays and Mondays this fall.  If you are interested in applying for the team fill out this form.
