FLL 2022-23 Season
Challenge Theme: The 2022-23 FLL theme is SUPERPOWERED.
"From the machines that move us to the electronics that connect us to the ways we power our cities and towns, energy is essential in our lives. Have you thought about where energy comes from? How it’s generated? How it gets to you? How much you’re using?"
- FIRST Lego League
The SUPERPOWERED Robot Game is about collecting energy units from different sources around the mat and distributing them to where the energy will be consumed. Points are scored for releasing energy units from the models and for delivering energy units to target destinations.
The Innovation Project prompt is:
"How can you reimagine a better energy future?"
See FLL's Innovation Project multimedia resources and the 4 "energy journey" categories that FLL created to inspire original project ideas:
"White Energy" Journey: Renewable energy
What are smart grids? How do they supply electricity to consumers?
How could we alter the demand for electricity so that consumers use it when the electricity is abundant?
How could energy be stored in your community so it is available when you need it?
How do rechargeable batteries work? Why is this better than using disposable batteries?
"Yellow Energy" Journey: Nonrenewables
How widespread is the use of nonrenewable resources?
Why is it difficult to stop using nonrenewable energy?
What solutions combine the use of renewable and nonrenewable energy sources?
What are the impacts of using nonrenewable energy sources?
What carbon capture technologies are being developed?
"Blue Energy" Journey: Hydroelectric stations
How could surplus energy from renewable sources be used in your community?
How is energy used in industries and homes?
How is water in the oceans used to capture energy?
Could water be used to capture energy where you live?
"Orange Energy" Journey: Energy grid
What are smart grids? How do they supply electricity to consumers?
How could we alter the demand for electricity so that consumers use it when the electricity is abundant?
How could energy be stored in your community so it is available when you need it?
How do rechargeable batteries work? Why is this better than using disposable batteries?
