The teams involved in the First LEGO League Competition have been practising hard since August, making sure their LEGO builds and coding was just right so it could complete the challenge.
This activity focuses on STEM, and lets kids experiment with their imagination and see how creative they can be.
The teams tried their best to use the wide variety of LEGO pieces to do something during the recent competition staged at Bucklands Beach Intermediate School.
One team made a robot that’s specialty was raising a mini-LEGO mast, and another team made a submersible that moved along a line.
They’re all astounding and have a great chance of winning.
There were a number of teams from different schools regionwide, all competing to try and get into the next round: the First Champion.
This is where kids from all over the world come up against each other, fighting for the victory and showing off their spectacular builds.
This is a great competition that teaches children STEM and coding, and the kids like it too, so it’s a win-win for both the parents and the children.
