JUNE CAMP

Our first camp was amazing. You guys really stuck with the problem solving! I'm looking forward to seeing what you will be able to do in July.

Be thinking about if you want to be on the competition team. I am going to include the FLL site on here so that those of you who may be interested can look and see what it is all about. The Team can be up to 10 kids. You would have to meet at least once per week, but most teams meet more often during the the competition season. The Season runs from September to January. Right now there are no scheduled qualifying events but there is supposed to be at least one in SE Utah and then the State Competition at the University of Utah in January.
There are several parts to the competitions: The Robot Challenge; The Research Project; and Teamwork. Team members must be between 9-14 years old, in January.
The FLL web site is HERE . Check it out. Feel free to email me if you have questions. shortboard51@yahoo.com
Remember~~ we a re looking for someone to build a practice table for us. We have the money to purchase the supplies... we just need someone who can build it. 


THANKS for a GREAT Camp!!!!!!

LEGO CAMP

About a month ago we got funded for Robotics. We purchased five kits, including the kit for competition. We also paid for our registrations for Regional and National Event participation.
Today will be our first camp. We have ten kids signed up but may have a few walk-ons.

I was looking for something to show the first group of kids to get them excited about competitions and found this from one of the top winning teams:
the LANDROIDS
