First Lego League FLL Application and Registration Form 2017 | Page 2

Imaginative thinking and
teamwork build tomorrow’s
innovators.
With adult Coaches to guide them, FIRST®
LEGO® League teams (up to 10 members) apply
science, engineering, and math concepts, plus a
big dose of imagination, to develop solutions to
real-world challenges. They also design, build,
and program LEGO MINDSTORMS®-based robots
to perform autonomous “missions” on a playing
field. Along the way, they develop critical
thinking, team-building, and presentation skills.
Grades 4-8; ages 9-14 on January 1, 2017
Three elements—the Robot Game, Project, and
FLL Core Values—make up what we call our
yearly Challenge.
2017 Animal Allies Challenge
What are the FLL Core Values?
The FLL Core Values are the cornerstones of the
FLL program. They are among the fundamental
elements that distinguish FLL from other
programs of its kind. By embracing the Core
Values, participants learn that friendly
competition and mutual gain are not separate
goals, and that helping one another is the
foundation of teamwork.
• We are a team.
Our goal is to attend one official regional FLL
tournament in November, usually the Saturday
before Thanksgiving.
• We do the work to find solutions with
guidance from our coaches and mentors.
• We know our coaches and mentors don't
have all the answers; we learn together.

• We honor the spirit of friendly competition.
• What we discover is more important than
what we win.
• We share our experiences with others.
• We display Gracious Professionalism® and
Coopertition® in everything we do.
•
We have FUN!
On your mark, get set, flow!
Drink in the 2017 HYDRO DYNAMICS SM season
and learn all about water – how we find,
transport, use, or dispose of it. In the 2017
FIRST® LEGO® League Challenge, students age 9
to 14 will make a splash with HYDRO DYNAMICS.
What might become possible when we
understand what happens to our water?
