Core Values Challenge

This Core Values Challenge is a great way to start a meeting. Print out enough sheets for each student on your team. Have them think of three ways they have either seen the Core Value on their sheet demonstrated by someone else on their team, or demonstrated it themselves. When they are done, they should share their answers with another team member. If you have time, consider sharing them as a whole group and think of one way you could work on displaying Gracious Professionalism® at the meeting today.

Robot Game

Robot Training Topics

This was developed by graduating members of a team in 2014, now Team Neutrino members, when they organized training sessions on robot building and programming for younger members of their team. This can be used as a basic outline for going over the basics of creating a FLL robot.

Mission Evaluation (2015)

This sheet can be used to evaluate which missions should be done. It will also get the students to start thinking about how they will do them. This version is specific to the 2015 game, but can be adapted for future games.

The ROBRIC

If your team builds multiple robot designs, this matrix can be used for objectively evaluating and deciding which one to use. You can assign different weights to the categories based on the game if you want.
