Jr FIRST LEGO (Jr FLL) For K – 3^rd Graders

Lincoln 2012 Snack Attack Season - This Spring - Keeping Food Safe

 Can Junior FIRST LEGO League teams master the science of safely preparing food?  In the 2011/2012 Snack Attack Challenge, K-3^rd grade Lincoln students will take a “hands on” approach to the topic of food safety by exploring how proper preparation and storage can help keep us healthy.   

The Challenge has two defined parts: Show-Me Poster and Model.  The Show-Me Poster requires kids to illustrate their research and team journey.   The Model portion of the Challenge gets kids’ hands busy. They build a representation of their research utilizing a motor to power movement in their model or moving an element of it by hand. 

Look for registration information in Dec/Jan.  This is Lincoln’s first year participating in Jr FLL.  It is a fun activity to coach and we need volunteer coaches!  Teams consist of 6 or less members. Teams will meet 6-8 times for 1½ hours.  Coaches can decide to meet once or twice a week.
