On the 5th and 6th grade team students were introduced to this year's FIRST Lego League Challenge: Cargo Connect! The theme for this year's challenges is cargo due to the supply chain issues that started and have persisted throughout the pandemic.
The challenge is divided into two parts: the robot game and the innovation project. For the robot game the students have built the game elements for each mission, have built the robot they will use to begin solve each mission, and have begun designing and creating attachments, as well as programming their robot to solve each mission. As well, students have reviewed some strategies that will help them program their robot; such as line follow.
5th and 6th graders will begin to learn about how cargo is transported around the world after winter break.
