CAMP PENDLETON – San Onofre School's robotics club competed in the First Lego League (FLL). FLL is an exciting alliance between FIRST and the LEGO® Group. It’s a robotics program for students, 9 to 14 years old, which is designed to get children excited about science and technology. Additionally, it aims to teach them valuable employment and life skills.
Teams of up to 10 kids program an autonomous robot (using a Lego MINDSTORMS® robot set) to score points on a thematic playing surface, create an innovative solution to a problem as part of their project, all while guided by the FLL Core Values.
These three elements – the Robot Game, Project, and FLL Core Values – make up what is called the yearly Challenge. This program begins each year with a new challenge, released in August. This year’s theme is "Trash Trek".
San Onofre School fielded three teams that competed in the FLL tournament on Nov. 14. Meeting twice a week after school, these teams came up with innovative solutions for the Robot Game and for handling problems involving trash and recycling.
The team was recognized and honored this year, earning a first place in the "Core Values" category.
