Come join the OtterBots, Brandons’s FIRST Lego League (FLL) team, for fun and adventure in STEM. STEM is a vital part of education and what better way to get involved at an early age than with community support and robots. Tomorrow’s innovators practice imaginative thinking and teamwork. Guided by adult Coaches, FLL teams research a real-world problem such as exploration, recycling, energy, etc., and are challenged to develop a solution. They also design, build and program a robot using the LEGO Spike Prime® platform, then compete against teams across Vermont on a table-top playing field.
It all adds up to tons of fun while participants learn to apply science, technology, engineering, and math concepts (STEM), plus a big dose of imagination, to solve problems. Along their journey, they develop critical thinking and team-building skills, basic STEM applications, and presentation skills, as they present their solutions to judges.
