SUMMARY:First Lego League Challenge - Grades 5-8
DESCRIPTION:Tolland County Robotics is back. Students in grades 5-8 - 
 register early to reserve your spot in the First Lego League Challenge 
 program. The team meets in the library 2 days per week every week\, Monday 
 and Thursday 5:00-7:45pm from Monday\, Aug. 31 to Thursday\, Dec.10. The 
 program ends with a competition with 20 other teams in the area. Learn more 
 about the program and its benefits.\n\nRegistration is through Tolland 
 County Robotics. Slots fill quickly and we have a very small number of 
 openings. If you are able to make the 2-day/week commitment\, register 
 here. \n\nFormer participants and current volunteers with the program 
 said:\n\n\n	\n	The deep value of this program is the journey and what you 
 learn along the way.\n	\n	\n	The most important things you get out of the 
 program are skills you don't even realize you are developing: 
 communication\, teamwork\, and presentation skills\, project management\, 
 and comfort speaking to others\, to name a few.\n	\n\n\nFIRST LEGO League 
 Challenge: Friendly competition is at the heart of Challenge\, as teams of 
 students in grades 5-8 engage in research\, problem-solving\, coding\, and 
 engineering—building and programming a LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime 
 robot that navigates the missions of a robot game. They also participate in 
 a research project to identify and solve a relevant real-world 
 problem.\n\nTolland County Robotics Foundation: The Tolland County Robotics 
 Foundation is a nonprofit that inspires K-12 students to be leaders and 
 innovators by engaging them in exciting mentor-based robotics programs that 
 foster well-rounded life capabilities including teamwork\, 
 self-confidence\, and leadership. The program is provided free of charge 
 and is funded by donations and grants.\n\nThe student's experience 
 culminates with an end-of-the-year competition in January where they'll 
 compete with over 20 teams from around the state.  A select few teams will 
 then be invited to the Connecticut State Championship.  \n
