Thanks to funding from national IEEE, the Montana Section has purchased Lego Mindstorm kits for use at two Bozeman area middle schools: Chief Joseph (two teams) and Monforton. The FIRST Lego League is a competition group for ages 9-14, and this year's challenge is called Climate Connections. The challenge is always made up of a project and a robot game (using the Lego Mindstorms). Our goal is to provide mentors for the three teams of about ten students each. If you are interested in becoming involved in this venture, please email Pat Kujawa.
