FIRST LEGO LEAGUE

Students in grades 4-8 are invited to join our FIRST LEGO League Challenge team after school.

Students work in teams of up to 10 in a competition as they showcase skills and design solutions across four categories:

• Robot design

• Robot game

• Innovation design

• Core values (teamwork, inclusion, impact, fun, discovery, innovation)

Our team participates in the district competition in December. The team is supported by:

• Philadelphia Robotics Coalition

• Ms. Kessler and Mr. Smith (teachers)

• Mr. Ryan (parent mentor)

• Mr. J and Mr. Habib (Digital Service Fellows)

• Penn Engineering student volunteers

Additionally, students in grades 1-3 participate in after school programming in the spring to prepare for the next year's competitions. Students in grades 4-5 serve as mentors.
