Granite School District FLL Competition Highlights 2018
First Lego League is BIG in Granite School District. This year 35 school-based teams competed in First Lego League. Each team has 10 team members, so we were able to provide experiences in critical thinking, problem solving, programming, robot design, research reality-based issues and the chance to create and present a solution to a real-world problem to around 350 students in the 4th – 8th grade.
Our incredible coaches (44 of them) and kids meet at least once a week and often more to design, program, research and problem solve. The results are amazing! This year’s trophies and awards are as follows:
Project trophy:
First place - Stansbury Elementary Water Wonders
Second Place - West Lake Aqua League

First Place - Fremont Plungers
Second Place - Eisenhower 5 Star Builders
