Presentation and Interviews<br />
FLL is about more than just building robots. Teams have to be creative in how they work to solve real-world<br />
problems. This year, teams have created a list of their body parts, functions or systems, then thought about<br />
things that could go wrong and how to improve them. Teams were challenged to create an innovative<br />
solution based on the selected problem. The are also tasked with sharing their solution with their community.<br />
At tournaments like his one, teams present their project to a panel of judges. In addition to this project<br />
presentation, teams take part in interviews focusing on their strengths in both robot design and how they<br />
represent FLL’s Core Values.
About FIRST LEGO League<br />
Through the 2012 Senior Solutions Challenge, FLL teams will explore the challenges of an aging population and examine the<br />
possible difficulties they may face – <strong>from</strong> reaching high-up places and mobility to staying in shape through activities like<br />
bowling and gardening– then find new ways to help or enable our aging population. It is amazing to see these students use their<br />
imagination and knowledge to develop fantastic ideas to solve the “Senior Solutions” challenge.<br />
Have you ever seen so many people excited about solving real-world problems and engineering We feel truly fortunate to work<br />
with committed students, individuals and organizations that share our goal of inspiring the next generation to celebrate<br />
engineering, science and technology. We commend you for assuming an active role in the development of today’s youth into<br />
tomorrow’s talented workforce. Tournaments such as this provide participants the opportunity to see that they are part of<br />
something larger than their own team. Ultimately, it is our hope that team members see tournaments as a microcosm of society<br />
where people work together to solve common problems.<br />
Thank you for your attendance of this event. The participants today appreciate your positive support in their work of changing<br />
the culture, one brick at a time.<br />
