Levels of FIRST FIRST Jr. Lego League Ages 6-9 FIRST Lego League Ages 9-14 FIRST Tech Challenge High School FIRST Robotics High School School Regional International Junior FIRST Lego League • For ages 6-9 or grades k-3 • Teams are made up of 2-6 kids • Involves 12,000 kids from 5 countries • The FIRST website describes it as “Teams will learn about simple machines as they build a model made of Lego elements with a motorized moving part, and will create a team Show-Me Poster .” Snack Attack cont. • “The Show-Me Poster requires kids to illustrate their research and team journey. It provides an opportunity for them to share what they studied, what they learned, and how they thought to improve the problem they chose. Their creative minds get started working on how to present their information and solution. • The Model portion of the Challenge gets kids’ hands busy. This is where they build a representation of what they are researching (according to the Challenge requirements), incorporating simple machines and movement into their creation. Teams are able to utilize a motor to power movement in their model, or they can move an element of it by hand.” Season Calendar • August- Registration Opens/ Challenge released • November-May- Event Season • April- World Expo in the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, Missouri Costs • Registration - $25 – Instructions - Model and Show-Me poster – Jr.FLL Coaches' Guide – Jr.FLL Forums • Base Kit - $139.95 – LEGO® Bricks Set (884 pieces) – LEGO Technology Resources Set (1,110 pieces) – LEGO Power Functions Battery Pack – LEGO Power Functions Motor – LEGO XL Base Plate – 6 LEGO SERIOUS® Play™ mini-kits with one set of activity cards ( 57 pieces in each mini-kit ) • Plus Kit - $169.95 (insert list) – LEGO Education We Do™ Construction Set (150+ pieces) – LEGO Education We Do™ Robotics Software - Team License – LEGO Education We Do™ Activity Pack Team License Regional Contact Barbara Pailet FLL Operational Partner [email protected] FIRST Lego League • For ages 9-14 or grades 4-8 • Teams of 2-10 kids • 15,000 teams in 50 countries • “Introduces younger students 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.” Food Factor cont. • “In the Robot Game, teams design, build, program, and test autonomous robots that must perform a series of tasks, or missions.

Teams of up to 10 students are responsible for designing, building, and programming their robots to compete in an alliance format against other teams. The robot kit is reusable from year-to-year and is programmed using a variety of languages. Teams, including coaches, mentors and volunteers, are required to develop strategy and build robots based on sound engineering principles. Awards are given for the competition as for well as for community outreach, design, and other real-world accomplishments.” Season Calendar • May 4, 2011- Registration Opens • September 10, 2011- Kick off • November-March- Tournament Season • April- Championships in St. Louis Cost • Registration - $275 • Competition Kit—$650 • A great foundation for FTC.

Under strict rules, limited resources, and time limits, teams of 25 students or more are challenged to raise funds, design a team “brand,” hone teamwork skills, and build and program robots to perform prescribed tasks against a field of competitors. It’s as close to “real-world engineering” as a student can get. Volunteer professional mentors lend their time and talents to guide each team.” • 2012 Game- To Be Revealed About FRC • New game created each year • Game revealed to teams at “kickoff”, at the start of the season • Teams have a six week “build season” to build a robot to play the game • After build season, robots compete in regional competitions and the Championship Season Calendar • January 7, 2012- Kickoff • January-February- Build Season • March- Regional Competitions • April- World Championship in St. Louis, Missouri Cost • A minimum of $20,000 is required to run a robotics team each year • This includes: – Registration Fees and Robot Kit ($5,000) – Equipment/Tools/IT – Consumables – Travel – T-Shirts – Miscellaneous Regional Contact Charles Kennedy FRC Regional Director [email protected] Questions?.
