FIRST designs accessible, innovative programs that build science & technology skills and also self-confidence, leadership, and life skills. As a mentor, coach and team advocate, I help get people involved and host tournaments.I get to work with some of the brightest, most creative and hardest working young people in the region, and from time to time, I get to share my experiences or lessons learned from industry with them. Everyone once in a while they'll let me drive the robot, brag about them in public or take their pictures, and as any parent knows, that's pretty difficult when they become teenagers!I help incredibly bright young individuals glimpse their true potential in the form of "the hardest fun you'll ever have", a world-wide engineering challenge in which pre-college youth gather requirements, interpret rules, conceive solutions, rapidly prototype, iteratively solve and otherwise collaborate to innovate and SHIP a hardware and software solution using a mixture of hand fabricated parts and commerically avaialble off-the-shelf (COTS) components to compete in a co-opertition oriented robotics game with up to 6 robots in an arena at once.FIRST! LEGO League (FLL) is a fun & exciting international robotics program that ignites an enthusiasm for discovery in kids ages 9 to 14.Junior FIRST! LEGO League (JFLL) is geared to children aged 6 to 9 years old and uses an age-appropriate FLL framework. Teams of up to 6 children and an adult mentor receive a mini challenge, based on the annual FLL research project. Using an open-ended LEGO building set, they design a model depicting an aspect of a yearly theme. We spend time exploring, investigating, designing and building LEGO models then create a "Show Me" tri-board poster that depicts the teams’ experience through pictures and words.
