2nd/3rd Grade First Lego League Explore

This semester, our 2nd and 3rd graders have been diving deep into the ocean—figuratively speaking, of course! As part of the First Lego League Explore season called Submerged, students have been working in teams to tackle some of the most pressing challenges facing our oceans today.

Each team has been hard at work designing a team model that provides a creative solution to an ocean-related problem. Here are some of the important issues our young innovators have been exploring:

• Chemical Pollution: Teams brainstormed ways to reduce harmful chemicals entering the ocean and proposed solutions to clean up existing pollution.
• Artificial Habitats for Coral Reefs: Students investigated how artificial habitats could support marine life as coral reefs continue to face threats from warming waters and pollution.
• Plastic Pollution: One team is creating a model to address plastic pollution by designing innovative ways to clean up ocean debris and reduce plastic waste.
• Noise Pollution: Another team is working on a solution to minimize noise pollution, which can disrupt marine life communication and navigation.

We’re excited to invite you to a special showcase where students will present their team models and share what they’ve learned about ocean challenges and their innovative solutions after the break! Excited for you to see what your children have accomplished and to celebrate their achievements together.
