Overview

First Lego League is an nationwide competition in Lego Mindstorms Robotics and mostly participated by schools and youths at age 9-14. At Little Scientist, we have participated as Ontario's (and possibly Canada's) first ever independent team since 2005. This effort is SPONSORED in part by Little Scientist. Parents who send their youths (who are prequalified and most of them have participated Lego Mindstorms 101) will only need to pay half of the fees. The cost of entry this year in 2007 is $150+GST.

Students must have either joined our team before to be qualified or have join our LEGO MINDSTORMS 101 workshops for a minimum of 8 classes.

IMPORTANT SCHEDULE INFORMATION for TEAM 1473 (Saturday 9-11am), 1474 (Sunday 9-11am)!! REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN.

This year, we will be using the all new Lego Mindstorms NXT Robotics Systems and material in August and our weekly meet on Saturday will re-open in Aug 2006. Registration is accepted on a prepayment of $150 for a one time administration support fee. No other charges are levied. Little Scientist will be sponsoring for the rest of the fees including computers, the LEGO competition kit, stationery, coaching, t-shirts, classroom, and supplies. The TEAM effort will require parents to endorse the participation and support the child in the effort for the team to be able to meet up and work on the project. Team members has to be aged between 9-14 in order to join the competition.

Parents get to choose whether they should join SATURDAY (Team 1473) or SUNDAY (Team 1474) to suit their schedule. Workshops (approximately 10-14) of them will be held in the morning time 9-11 am throughout the fall.

IT IS ESTIMATED THAT THE FIRST WORKSHOP WILL START on August 25th, 26th.

It is our philosophy to offer youths whose school does not have a robotics program. If there are more students who graduated from our workshops, we will set up and support one or more teams to go to 2006 competition.

The project will take approximately 8 weeks meeting at LittleScientist's workshop location on a regular basis on usually saturday morning 9am-11 pm.
