through LEGO Mindstorm Robotics And FIRST LEGO League Teams Positive Youth Development =Meeting the Needs of Youth Belonging Mastery Independence Generosity What are these 4 basic needs of Youth? Belonging—
Finding that you have things in

Giving youth a choice in what they will
do and a voice in where the group is headed Generosity— When youth belong, feel that they have skills they have accomplished and are given choices, youth will choose to share with others of their knowledge time and skills So what is a LEGO MINDSTORM EV3 Robot?

Teams of up to 10 kids and guided by at least one adult coach, team members have about 10 weeks to work on the Annual Challenge Each annual Challenge has two parts, the Project and the Robot Game The 3 Rs of FIRST LEGO League Robots– learning to program the robots, build add-ons to accomplish the tasks set forth in the challenge on the Challenge Field in the 2.5 minute opportunity to showcase their robot and programming Research- Learning about the challenge and how our community can make a difference and presenting it in a creative way Report– Defend the robot, your programming, your teamwork and your research project FIRST LEGO League Core Values We are a team We do the work to find solutions with guidance from our coaches and mentors We honor the spirit of friendly competition What we discover is more important than what we win We share our experiences with others We display gracious professionalism in everything we do We have fun FIRST LEGO League 4-H Clubs Decision-making Communication Leadership And Citizenship—Connecting research to community Open House Presentations County Fair Club Project and Demonstrations Regional Competition Technical Interview Run Missions completed for 5 minutes Explain how you designed your Apparatuses Share how your design Process progressed Regional Competition Teamwork Interview Accomplish Task Share how you worked as a team
What did you learn
working together?
What role did each
player take? How did you get along? Regional Competition Project Research Presentation •Research a community connection to the year’s theme •Brainstorm a way your community could impact that theme •Plan a project to impact that theme •Plan a creative way to share •Share it with the community •5 Minutes including Setup Regional Competition Robotics Challenge •2 ½ minutes to complete as many missions as possible •Only 2 members at the board at one time…can tag and change •Use only one robot •Must practice changing apparatuses so that doesn’t slow you up •Don’t shy away from Regional if you only have a few missions completed 2016 Challenge Animal Allies Your Project mission this season is to look into the eyes of our ANIMAL ALLIES. What might become possible when we learn to help each other?. In the Animal Allies Project, your team will: Identifyopportunities to work with animals in our communities Design an innovative solution to the
FLL challenges kids to problem you select
Share your problem and solution with think like scientists and others engineers. How do teams get Started?
1. Starting to build the LEGO pieces that make up
each of the missisons – You will download the instructions for building the Mission Model Pieces – Check out the Mission pieces, pictures and video of the how the constructed LEGO piece fits into the Animal Allies Challenge on Youtube when the challenge is released on August 28 …see what your Robot has to do to accomplish each mission – Lay out the mat and start building the pieces that go on it How do we get started? 2. Jump into the Challenge Theme “Animal Allies” for 2016. To begin your Animal Allies project, As a Team – Choose an animal that we could work with in our communities. It might be finding and putting animals to work with people or could be providing services for animals or a connection to animals for parts of our population. How do we get started?
This would be a great time to invite someone in to
talk to your team…an expert who works with animals in your community….. How do we get started?
3. Start learning about building the robot and
programming it a) Build a robot…there are lots of sites online to help you design the building of your robot. Just get one built so you can start programming. Just Google LEGO EV3 Building Instructions a) Build the standard Driving Base in Manual with kit b) Begin the EV3 Tutorial in the programming software or online to learn how to use the software to program the robot
