For the Fall of 2011,
the Rockville Robotics League is hoping to have several teams in the
FIRST LEGO League (FLL) and competed in the 2011 Food Factor
Challenge.
We will have an organizing meeting on September 1, 7:00pm at
Rockville City Hall, 111 Maryland Avenue. Send an email to
robotics@rockvillesciencecenter.org if you plan to attend (PowerPoint Presentation).
Last year, we had 18 middle and
elementary school students working in three teams. We set up coaches
working with each team, assisted by several experienced high school
students.
Parents helped with the "project" portion of the FLL competition and
team logistics. You can see what we accomplished
here.
Tournaments
We are planning to have a Qualifier Tournament in
Rockville during January, 2012. If our teams do well enough, we will
send some to the State Tournament during February
at UMBC near Baltimore.

Can FIRST LEGO League

Improve Our Food?
In the
2011 Food Factor Challenge, over 200,000 9-14 year
olds from over 55 countries will explore the topic
of food safety and examine the possible points of
contamination our food encounters – from exposure to
insects and creatures, to unsterile processing and
transportation, to unsanitary preparation and
storage – then find ways to prevent or combat these
contaminates.
