Announcing the FLL Challenge for 2012
NDEP is our sponsor! 
2012 Senior Solutions Challenge
“Independent. Engaged. Connected.”
Coming September 2012
Can FIRST® LEGO® League teams improve the quality of life for seniors by helping them continue to be independent, engaged, and connected in their communities? In the 2012 Senior SolutionsSM Challenge, over 200,000 children ages 9 to16* from more than 60 countries will explore the topic of aging and how it may affect a person’s ability to maintain his or her lifestyle – solving issues like getting around, keeping in touch, or staying fit. Teams will research obstacles and then suggest ways to improve the quality of life for the seniors affected. Teams will also build, test, and program an autonomous robot using LEGO MINDSTORMS® robot to solve a set of missions on an obstacle course. Throughout their experience, teams will operate under FLL’s signature set of Core Values.
Link to the Skit Robonauts will continue to use their research project from the FLL Food Factor 2011 competition to educate the public on food contamination and prevention.
Food Factor Challenge http://firstlegoleague.org/challenge/2011foodfactor
Research Project: for the 2011 competition the theme was, "Food Factor Challenge - Keeping Food Safe". It was an exercise to see if the teams could improve the quality of food by finding ways to prevent food contamination. They explored the issues involving food safety at every point in the supply chain, including farming methods, pest and microbial mitigation, hygiene, sanitation and critical control points throughout processing, transportation and storage.
