Can the Electro Brick help master natural disasters?

In the 2013 NATURES FURY Challenge, over 200,000 children ages 9 to 16* from over 70 countries will explore the awe-inspiring storms, quakes, waves and more that we call natural disasters. Teams will discover what can be done when intense natural events meet the places people live, work, and play. Brace yourself for NATURES™ FURY!

The FLL Challenge has 3 parts - the Robot Game, the Project, and the Core Values.

First Lego League

Introduces younger students, ages 9-16, 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.

Design, build, test and program robots using LEGO MINDSTORMS^® technology
Apply real-world math and science concepts
Research challenges facing todays scientists
Learn critical thinking, team-building and presentation skills
Participate in tournaments and celebrations

What FLL teams accomplish is nothing short of amazing. Its fun. Its exciting. And the skills they learn will last a lifetime.

This year we have
two teams:

Electro Bricks & Junior Electro Bricks

Junior FIRST LEGO League

Focused on building an interest in science and engineering in children ages 6-9, Junior FIRST LEGO League (Jr. FLL) is a hands-on program designed to capture young children's inherent curiosity and direct it toward discovering the possibilities of improving the world around them. Just like FIRST LEGO League (FLL), this program features a real-world challenge, to be solved by research, critical thinking and imagination. Guided by adult coaches and the Jr. FLL Core Values, students work with LEGO elements and moving parts to build ideas and concepts and present them for review.
