For Inspiration & Recognition of Science & Technology

What do you get when you cross LEGOs & robots? Excitement! Aka FIRST LEGO League (FLL). With a sports-like atmosphere (including the commitment) FLL youth build & program a robot as well as research, identify a problem and create a solution on the current year’s theme (Senior Solutions 2012).

Kudos to these kids for the time & effort they have put in – they can definitely use the skills they have developed to “go pro” in the STEM fields (science, tech, engineering & math)!
