Teams of 10 students ranging in ages from 9-14 build and program a robot, do a research project, learn teamwork, and prepare a 5 minute presentation. the 8 - 10 week season culminates in a all day competition, with the possibility of going to a state tournament.
My husband and I have worked with other mentors the last 4 years to coach teams, and have gone to State 2 times. It has been a wonderful experience for us and for the team members.
Lego League has proven to be a amazing hands on holistic environment that fits in very well with homeschooling. Many different subject areas are tied together in a way that is exciting and relevant to the students. Being part of a team is inspiring, and although minimal work is usually required outside of the meetings there are many areas that you can study on your own that would benefit the team. We have had great successes with teams of multiple ages and genders, and we spend time learning about how a team needs lego builders, programmers, artists, graphic designers, researchers, and actors. There is a role for all types on the team and we strive to cross train as well.
Ages: 9 - 14
Time Involvement:
Participants:
2 - 4 hours a week, from 26 August - mid November. 4 - 8 hours a week from mid November til mid December.
Coaches: The more coaches that are involved 2 - 4 ideally, the better the time can be distributed evenly. It is very helpful to have a coach over the robot, and a coach over the research project/presentation. No previous experience in needed, there are materials to help the coach's and the kids learn really quickly in this exciting hands on environment.
Cost: $100 per student, includes T-shirt, which the kids design. This cost can be reduced by participation in fundraisers, or serving as a mentor.
Theme: Each year there is a different theme for the research project and the robotic competition and this years theme is World Class: Learning Unleashed
