To Represent Canada at Open European Championship


Local Lego Robotics Team To Represent Canada
at Open European Championship!



A local Lego robotics team's robot and research has been ranked among the best in Canada and has been given the opportunity to compete in the Lego Robotics version of the Olympics. The kids will compete in Germany against teams from across 50 countries. The costs to represent Canada total $14,000.00, and the kids are looking for sponsors to help get them to their Olympic dreams.

The mission of the FIRST Lego League (FLL) is to get children excited about science and technology.  Competitions are organized around the world, in which teams are required to build a robot out of Lego parts.  The robots are required to successfully complete specific missions while running in matches against other robots.  Teams are also required to do a presentation on a thematic project in which they design an innovative solution to a real world problem. This year's challenge is to find new ways to prevent food contamination. A panel of judges, made up of industry professionals, ranks each team on their robot design and performance, innovative solution and project work, and core team values.

The Robo-Raptors team of seven children, aged 9-14, have managed to beat out their peers in the regional and provincial levels. The kids were only recently informed that they were selected to be one of two out of 530 teams to represent Canada at the robotic championships in Germany!

Please support your team and let the games begin!
