The 2009 FIRST Lego League Challenge
This competition is the culmination of many weeks of intense learning, hard work and excitement for these young people, their coaches, mentors, and parents. During the challenge season, team members, ages 9 – 14, explore accessing people, places, goods and services in the safest, most efficient way possible. In this journey, teams will consider many modes of transportation beyond their daily routine and streamline their options by making smart moves! They’ve also studied computer programming, mechanical design, problem solving and teamwork in this unique challenge that merges sports, science, education and team dynamics. Get ready for an exciting day as 31 teams, 250 students, compete and show off their skills and agility!
