Immediately following the tournament opener, teams were off, sizing-up the competition before testing their own projects.<\/p>\n

Participating teams were challenged to develop \u201csenior solutions\u201d\u00a0 to improve the quality of life for people 60+ years old, by helping them continue to be independent,\u00a0engaged, and connected in their communities.<\/p>\n

Teams had to research issues and speak with local seniors to identify a problem or challenge.\u00a0 The team then developed a research based solution to the problem.<\/p>\n

Hazelwood GALACTIC students, MiniBots team, put final touches on robotics project<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The robotics field is designed to represent healthy living for seniors.\u00a0 The teams design, build and program a robot using LEGO Mindstorms.<\/p>\n

The FLL Challenge had three components: the Robot Game, the Project, and the Core Values.
\nThe Robot Game and Project are what teams do, and the Core Values guide teams through the experience.<\/p>\n

The mission of FLL is to inspire young people to be science and technology leaders, by engaging them in exciting mentor-based programs that build science, engineering and technology skills, that inspire innovation, and that foster well-rounded life capabilities including self-confidence, communication, and leadership.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
