Game Details to be released September 7th!
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.

LEGO KidsFest - April 27-29
Teams!
Here is a GREAT BIG THANK YOU and SHOUTOUT for the teams that helped with the DENVER LEGO KidsFest this week-end. LKF was sold out in four of the five sessions, and nearly sold out on Friday evening. At 6,000 people per session and 5 sessions, nearly 30,000 people attended the event. We probably talked to at least 2,000 of them, judging from the number of flyers distributed from our table.
Our table had the special challenge that we were one of the only tables in the place that was "demonstration only", rather than hands on. Lesson learned for next time! Ideas welcome :-)
Many thanks to the teams and coaches below for their getting to the event on time, being flexible with the uncertainty of the schedule, and working with the throngs of kids and parents that were very excited to hear about FLL.
