FIRST LEGO LEAGUE
FLL is an international program created by inventor Dean Kamen to promote science, technology, engineering, and math among children ages 9-14. FLL events consist of 3 components:
- A robot game, where team members build and program LEGO robots to solve various missions;
- A project, where they research a problem of their choice related to the year's theme;
- Core Values, where they learn to work as a team and to compete in a spirit of friendly "coopertition."
FLL is meant as an opportunity for children to learn science and technology, teamwork, project management, decision-making, and other important tools they'll need to succeed in the professional world. MySTEM Academy focuses on mentoring the children to succeed, not on winning an award. Winning is a consequence of how much effort the children invest in solving the robot game, conducting and presenting the project, and practicing core values.
