Children in 2-4th grade can participate in the FIRST LEGO League Explore program where they will be introduced to the fundamentals of engineering. Teams are challenged to research a new scientific topic each year and present their research in the form of a team poster. Using LEGO bricks, students will also learn to design and code a LEGO robot to create a unique solution to a real-world problem. Teams culminate their season with an event where they share their robot and poster with the community.
Teams are made up of 3-4 students, ages 6-10 and 2 adult coaches. Time commitment generally 1 hour a week from late September until early February. Cost to participate $50. Meeting times are determined by the coaches after teams are formed.
