Forest Creek First Lego League Team "The Lord of the Legos" Competes

Forest Creek's First Lego League Team "The Lord of the Legos" competed in the FLL Team Competition at Westwood High School on Saturday, Nov. 13th.  We are so proud of all ten members of our team.  Our team competed against 18 other elementary and middle school teams.  This year, our team consisted of seven fourth graders and three fifth graders. Altogether, they spent more than 50 hours of their own time after school and during recess preparing for our competition.

Our team was divided into three parts, a build team, a programming team, and a research team.  These students had to learn how to build a robot, how to program it using the lego programning language, and research the self-selected topic of ADHD. 

The team was led by Rodger Schorr, a mentor from National Instruments.  Kirstie Ginapp and Valerie Rollans were the school sponsors. Without the support of these teachers, our team would not have been possible. 

We would also like to thank Elizabeth Fry, a fourth grade teacher at Forest Creek, for coming to the competition on Saturday to cheer our team on.  It was wonderful having another teacher take such an interest in our hard work.

Thanks to all of the students who competed in the First Lego League competition.  We are so proud of you!
