Meteors compete in Lego league
From Emmet County Extension
SIOUX?CITY?- The Estherville Meteors 4-H FIRST LEGO League (FLL) team had fun competing in the northwest Iowa regional tournament in Sioux City on Saturday, Dec. 3.
Maybe it's the matching T-shirts, mascots and research presentations that make the FLL unique. Or maybe it's the excitement that triggered one boy to "dream about the mission" and another to say "participating in this group is the best part of his week." Or maybe it's the competing 4-H'er-built robots
More than 240 Iowa teams participate in FLL, which unites youth around the globe in the world of robotics. More than 171,000 kids participate worldwide. The program engages kids, ages 9-14, in problem solving, teamwork and learning through competition. The exciting and energetic atmosphere of FLL quickly dispels stereotypes of the drab professors and bulky machinery sometimes associated with technology.
"The part that is exciting about the robotics challenges is that it is just an energizing, fun way to engage people with different interests," said Jay Staker, director of Iowa State University Extension Science, Engineering and Technology (E-SET). "There are many roles for kids to fit into a team and develop their skills based on what they're interested in and what their DNA wires them for.
