We dove right into our LEGOs this school year!
We received an amazing grant from the Ladue Education Foundation to purchase the latest and greatest First Lego League materials: Lego Spike Prime!
The elementary gifted specialists in the district wrote the grant last school year. The LEF approved the grant and all of our materials arrived in August! Thank you to all who donate to the LEF. We LOVE the new robotics kits!
This year's theme is SUPERPOWERED. We have a few goals to achieve before our First Lego League competition on
Saturday, December 3rd from 8:30-12:30.
(Save the date!)
1. Learn about the new LEGO robotics tools and programming.
2. Build & complete 3 missions of the Robot Game.
3. Create an Innovation Project that either improves an existing energy source or creates a new energy source that does not exist.
4. Create a display board and develop an oral presentation related to our Innovation Project that involves all members of our team.

Some of the mission builds were very tricky! We have a Westminster High School student, Mr. Blake, who is planning to be an engineering major in college. He is receiving senior service hours by volunteering in Idea Lab! We are so glad to have him.
We will also be judged on the First Lego League Core Values:
