We had our first FLL meeting this week. It was fantastic to have time for a meeting to just organize the team, set goals and rules for team participation, and get to know each other. The team will be working through NXT programming tutorials for the next few weeks to improve their programming skills for the upcoming missions in August.
The team consists of three incoming fourth graders, four incoming fifth graders, one incoming sixth grader, and one incoming seventh grader. Six of our nine team members made up our first FLL team last year. I consider last season a success since they all returned. I am excited to see the team grow, in part, so the workload isn't as heavy for each team member. It looks to be a great season.
I have so appreciated opportunities other educators have shared with me. This blog shares the opportunities I have discovered for students and educators as they occur and shares activities and ideas from my elementary engineering lab. Students in elementary engineering build working models, use robotics, and design 3D printing projects using project-based learning. Opinions expressed here are my own.
