BEDFORD – The 4-H Club Superior STEAM is set to host a FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Scrimmage on November 2 at Sherwood Oaks Christian Church in Bedford. This is the third scrimmage that the Club has hosted.
Teams of 6-14-year-old future scientists, artists, engineers, innovators, and leaders from around the state will gather to be judged on how well they display the FIRST Core Values, how well they innovate a solution to a problem related to this year’s game theme, and–of course–how well the robot they build completes the missions on the field. In addition to the field competition, even younger innovators will display the projects that they have built.
FIRST Robotics is an international robotics competition with three divisions for students 4-18 years old. FLL is the youngest division. Teams that compete in FIRST Robotics (firstinspires.org) are expected to display Gracious Professionalism and Cooperation. To learn more about Gracious Professionalism® and Coopertition® check out the videos on Superior STEAM’s website. To learn more about the Core Values of FIRST click here.
The game for this year is called SUBMERGED. The theme of the FIRST Robotics season focuses
on the oceans. There are 15 different missions from which each team can try to get points.
A complete schedule will be released closer to the event. Judging will happen before lunch. Opening ceremonies will start after lunch with robot matches following. You can also watch the livestream of the competition on Superior STEAM’s YouTube channel or Facebook page.
Thank you, Sherwood Oaks Bedford, for letting Superior Steam borrow your cameras.
