HANDS ON SKILL METER 

We will be using this "tick" image to illustrate what is the degree of involvement in practicing HANDS ON SKILLS at our workshops.

As most of our workshops will train and present different level of HANDS ON SKILLS to the youth in organise, build, construct, program and document. We feel that this meter will provide parents a better indication of the skills involved.

Our HANDS ON SKILLS meter will be measuring from 1, 3, 5 ticks.

Basic - Snap on, glue, instructions provided

Little Scientist team joined FIRST LEGO LEAGUE in 2005 as a rookie team and have since advanced to a level where parents, educators, and the community have known us to be a formidable force in the independents category in junior educational robotics. We are an independent team not supported by any school, the team is financially supported by part susidy from Little Scientist and the youths' parents. It is a great value program for youths that has demonstrated ability and interest.

2005 Team 603 Award for Against All Odds (being a rookie entry)
2006 Team 2047 Award for Best Research (Delivered the best research)
2007 TBA

In 2007, we are hoping that we can have 2 teams of 8 youths each joining us and represent us from Mississauga's community. This is a great opportunity for local youths aged 9-14 who have demonstrated ability in LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT platform and working with other youths.
For youths who has not been involved in FIRST LEGO LEAGUE, we recommend taking our prequisite course of LEGO MINDSTORM 101 course (14 sessions).

This is an ever growing list of mini-challenges meant to reinforce the class training material and to provide an exercise to use during FLL practice sessions. They can be done by multiple groups within the session and should be easy to follow. Once the kids understand the basic concept, they may be able to see how, or if, they could use the concept in some way on their robot.

If you want to contribute your own mini-challenge let us know. We'll post them. These are in no particular order.

The individual files are all in PDF form. The zip file also contains the Word versions if you want to modify or enhance them, per the license agreement of High Tech Kids.
