Junior First Lego League and First Lego League

The kids both start their Lego League pursuit this month. Rachel has her first Lego League meeting tomorrow and Priam his first at the end of September. I’ll be a coach for Priam’s team and I have no doubt that he and his fellow teammates will cook up a variety of creative solutions to tackle this year’s Lego challenge: Climate Connections.

This year’s challenge:

Embark on an exploration of the earth’s climate in the Junior FIRST LEGO League’s 2008 Climate Connections Challenge! Discover the links between science, people, resources, and communities. Unearth how we learn about past climates and delve into questions surrounding our current and future climatic conditions. Join Junior FIRST LEGO League teams in creating a global game plan as they make these Climate Connections!

I’m eager to see what the climate change challenge is and how our youngsters can learn to think about tackling it. More to come…
