LEGO ROBOTICS LAB
FIRST LEGO
LEAGUE (FLL)
| FLL is the result of an exciting alliance
between
FIRST and the
LEGO Company. Guided by adult mentors and their own
imaginations, FLL students solve real-world engineering
challenges, develop important life skills, and learn to make
positive contributions to society. Through Lego Robotics
competitions, FLL introduces children to the fun and
experience of solving real-world problems by applying
mathematics, science, and technology. In
conjunction with the NMU |
 |
| Seaborg Center, Northern Michigan University
hosts the annual Upper Peninsula First Lego League Regional
Competition. Top teams from the regional tournament earn
the right to compete at state FLL tournament in Detroit.
Each year, the NMU Mathematics and Computer Science
Department sponsors a team for the competition. NMU
students, under the direction of Dr. David Buhl, have the
opportunity to coach the team. In addition, many schools in
our region have had NMU students serve as assistant coaches
in their respective teams, Coaching a FLL team is an
excellent hands-on opportunity for NMU students to engage
with middle school students on the learning of mathematics,
science and technology. |
