Sign up for Swissvale Library's FIRST LEGO League! This year's league challenges kids (grades 5th through 8th) to think like scientists and engineers. For the Fall session, teams will also build, test, and program an autonomous robot using LEGO® MINDSTORMS® technology to solve a set of missions in the Robot Game.

To sign up, call 412-731-2300 or visit the Swissvale Library to enter your name and child’s name on the sign-up sheet at the front desk (1800 Monongahela Ave). Questions? Email Jeff at jkandra@verizon.net.

Students will have the opportunity to:

• Design, build and program robots using LEGO MINDSTORMS® technology
• Apply real-world math and science concepts
• Research challenges facing today’s scientists
• Learn critical thinking, team-building and presentation skills
• Participate in a regional tournament that attracts over 700 students
• Learn programming languages including JavaScript
• Access on-line tools such as Robot Simulators and Development Environments
• Present a research project about the 2022 “Super Powered” Challenge.

Due to a limited number of robots and computers, enrollment in the class is limited. If more students sign-up than we are able to accommodate, we would be glad to add your contact information to our waiting list and would contact you once an opening becomes available.
