Lego tournament showcases innovation
Launched in 1989 as a partnership between the Lego Group and FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), a nonprofit organization working to inspire engineering interest in young learners, the FIRST Lego League uses Legos to teach scientific and technological concepts to students, 9-14. Students in the Delaware Valley who are active in the FIRST Lego League form peer groups each September to build and hone robots in the months leading up to the annual one-day tournament in January. This years competition drew 48 teams that hailed from elementary, middle schools and community groups throughout the tristate area, including a team from Newarks Pike Creek Christian School. Nine different awards were given in categories that included most robust robot, most innovative programming and robot that beat the greatest odds.
